I used Aldrin's advice from bug 367309 and that actually fixes my problem with the bizarre brightness settings (I have yet to long-term- test if the flashes go away as well). You type
xrandr --output LVDS --set BACKLIGHT_CONTROL combination and the brightness behavior is completely normal again. How can I have this permanently set (instead of running a script everytime I login)? Maybe it could be fixed since many people have this intel video card. Shouldn't it be fixed in xserver-xorg-video-intel? -- [i965] Wierd backlight brightness behaviour looks like flashes on Amilo Si 2636 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/356510 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
