Public bug reported: I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 (desktop editiion) on Asus Eee PC 1000H. Everything is default: Gnome and all patches installed.
I observe two problems: 1) State of brightness applet is not synchronized with real monitor brightness. Let me describe in details: Fn+F5 and Fn+F6 combinations decrease and increase display brightness correspondingly. This is OK. But state of "Power Manager Brightness Applet 2.24.2" is not in sync with real brightness. For example, I can decrease brightness to minimum with help of keyboard shortcut Fn+F5, but brightness applet shows maximum brightness. 2) The second issue that brightness goes to the applet level absolutely sporadically. I.e. I change brightness from keyboard, do something (typing text) and after minute brightness goes to the level, which is specified in brightness applet. Since applet level is not synchronized with real level (applet level is maximum after boot), I observe display flash. The only possible way to fix this annoyance - is to change brightness level only from applet. But this is very inconvenient. ** Affects: gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Package changed: qt4-x11 (Ubuntu) => gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) -- Problem with display brightness on Asus Eee PC 1000H https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/424786 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
