[EMAIL PROTECTED] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEEDINFO |REJECTED Resolution| |INVALID ------- Comment #42 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2008-10-30 00:59 ------- well. the problem is quite clear. when pressing hotkey, Linux kernel video driver tries to control the backlight. while some userspace scripts listen to the acpid and try to set the backlight as well. the first solution is that "echo 0 > /sys/.../brightness_switch_enabled", which can prevent the ACPI video driver from changing the backlight. An alternative is to remove the user space scripts in /etc/acpi/events/. I think you can easily figure out which script brings the flicker. Reject it as this is not a kernel bug. Pechnikov, please re-open it if you still have any questions. :) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ acpi-bugzilla mailing list acpi-bugzilla@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/acpi-bugzilla
