This is still true with the Radeon driver in Natty. There's no BACKLIGHT property exposed on the LVDS interface.
Gnome Power Manager itself now works around it, with gnome-backlight-helper. KDE also now somehow works around it, as well. So, the user-facing portion is fixed, but the original problem (missing BACKLIGHT property) still exists. -- 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/534677 Title: [lucid] Broken backlight control with Radeon open-source drivers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/534677/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
