I'm currently running hardy and it works for me (minus new bugs). Do you try to use the smartdimmer -s <number> command ? Does it work ?

The fix presented here is for the hal subsystem (used by gnome-power-manager and the brightness applet). -- LCD brightness setting doesn't work with Sony Vaio VGN-S5M https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/77739 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
