The answer Danny Kukawka at the freedesktop tracker gave: "1) you can't run the HAL scripts manually, they are supposed to be called by HAL only
2) proc isn't supported by HAL anymore, at least not the interfaces from the generic video module 3) where is the output of lshal? Which desktop environment was used? 4) the two keyevents for brightness are from the kernel. HAL can't do anything here 5) try to unload the video module and use the dcdbas module instead, which allow the whole brightness handling especially for Dell machines." Can you please all try his suggestion in point 5? I'll tell him point 3. -- [hardy] [regression] LCD brightness control (Dell) no longer works https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212733 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
