Hi, Here still on Vaio BZ11XN (Intel X4500MHD). The 2.6.27-2 kernel does NOT fix the problem. (My Intrepid is up-to-date)
Only rc.local/xrandr + xbacklight can workaround the problem ; BUT : 2 times out of 3, the rc.local call to xrandr seems to make some kind of race condition with gdm startup, and X do not start completely : gdm starts, the screen blinks 2 or 3 times, then remains black (with backlight on) ; no response from anything (CAPS led is unresponsive, nor SysRq-reboot). Pulling the xrandr call from rc.local and calling it in a terminal *after* GNOME session has opened is OK and makes xbacklight work everytime. -- unable to adjust screen brightness on recent Sony Vaio notebooks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173652 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
