I can't reproduce this problem. I currently use v0.5-1 package. You can try to remove my package (dpkg -r hal-sony-lcd-wa), verify that /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor no longer contains 10-sony-laptop-panel- mgmt-policy.fdi.
Then see if your HAL initialization error still occurs. You can also check your ~/.xsession-errors to check if there is hal- related errors and detailled output. -- 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
