I have been asked to test a kernel patch for this bug but I am struggling to do so.
I am able to obtain the source to the most recent Ubuntu kernel and compile it. The patch, however, appears to have been written for a later kernel version. The 3.13 kernel will not compile after applying it. I believe I need at least 3.14, maybe 3.15. I am aware of the mainline kernel repository that contains kernels pre- built upstream kernels for ubuntu. No source is provided. I need a way to either: 1) get hold of the source for these mainline packages in the same way I can get the source for the most recent ubuntu kernel; or 2) figure out how to compile the "pure" kernel source from kernel.org for Ubuntu. Can anyone advise before I go back to the kernel devs? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1315834 Title: 1002:983d [Acer Aspire V5-122P] Unable to adjust screen brightness using Radeon driver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1315834/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
