Public bug reported: the brightness adjusts in 3 steps, i thought it was annoying but adjustable in gconf; finally investigated and saw it wasn't :]
if i echo 0 > /sys/module/video/parameters/brightness_switch_enabled it reduces one of the extra steps if i killall gnome-power-manager i get no backlight adjustment, from my understanding its solely responsible, but i can't find the extra brightness event input, acpi_listen shows the video adjustment, as does input-events 4 (the video device) X opens the video event device as an input but i don't know if that means g-p-m will see it as another event hoping someone can tell me more about g-p-m and where it gathers events so i can finish investigating, or solve the bug outright :] ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 Package: gnome-power-manager 2.32.0-2ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-10.44~lp793796b5-generic 2.6.38.5 Uname: Linux 2.6.38-10-generic x86_64 Architecture: amd64 Date: Sun Jun 26 14:12:11 2011 GnomeSessionIdleInhibited: Yes GnomeSessionInhibitors: 1: AppId = Power Manager Inhibit Applet, Flags = 15, Reason = Manual inhibit GnomeSessionSuspendInhibited: Yes InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Release amd64 (20101007) MachineType: Hewlett-Packard Compaq Presario CQ60 Notebook PC ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_US:en PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-10-generic root=UUID=d332acb1-e554-4637-84fe-731b5e39212b ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 SourcePackage: gnome-power-manager UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to natty on 2011-03-17 (101 days ago) dmi.bios.date: 12/15/2010 dmi.bios.vendor: Hewlett-Packard dmi.bios.version: F.65 dmi.board.asset.tag: Base Board Asset Tag dmi.board.name: 3612 dmi.board.vendor: Hewlett-Packard dmi.board.version: 09.67 dmi.chassis.asset.tag: Chassis Asset Tag dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: Hewlett-Packard dmi.chassis.version: Chassis Version dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnHewlett-Packard:bvrF.65:bd12/15/2010:svnHewlett-Packard:pnCompaqPresarioCQ60NotebookPC:pvrPCID:rvnHewlett-Packard:rn3612:rvr09.67:cvnHewlett-Packard:ct10:cvrChassisVersion: dmi.product.name: Compaq Presario CQ60 Notebook PC dmi.product.version: PCID dmi.sys.vendor: Hewlett-Packard ** Affects: gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug natty -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/802276 Title: brightness adjust 3 steps from hard (Fn) keys To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/802276/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
