Hi guys, On my notebook, HP nx6125 (ATI X300 graphics), if I use the included radeon (oss) driver, I can ajust the screen brightness with the fn keys on the keyboard, and if I unplug AC power, the screen dimms automatically.
But if I used the fglrx driver, this doesn't work correctly. It does work, but the changes aren't seen on the screen. For example, I have my KDE/Gnome desktop open in front of me, screen is in full brightness. I unplug the AC or use the fn keys to turn down the brightness. Nothing happens, the screen stays bright. If I now press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to switch to console, the console is dimmed, and if I now Alt+F7 back to X, X is dimmed as well. So something prevents these brightness functions to update the screen in real time. Obviously the problem is with the fglrx driver, or some part of it. I know it works correctly on some other notebooks with the same driver. Has anybody seen this? Is it simply a setting in xorg.conf, an ACPI issue, or am I out of luck? Google turns op mostly issues with backlight not switching off when the lid is closed, which seems to be ACPI issues with particular notebooks, but nothing that looks directly like what I'm seeing.
