Package: acpi-support Version: 0.109-11 Severity: important Tags: patch The Debian version of panabright.sh only works with the old "pcc_acpi" driver, which doesn`t compile against any recent kernel. The out-of-kernel pcc_acpi driver has since been replaced by the in-kernel panasonic-laptop module.
If affected by the bug, one can not use the brightness hotkeys to adjust the brightness of the LCD, as the new driver uses /sys/* while the old one used /proc/*. The attached patch detects which driver is active and acts accordingly, fixing the non-functional brightness hotkeys. Please note that I was not able to test the script with the old pcc_acpi driver. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-rc2 (SMP w/1 CPU core; PREEMPT) Locale: lang=de...@euro, lc_ctype=de...@euro (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages acpi-support depends on: ii acpi-support-base 0.109-11 scripts for handling base ACPI eve ii acpid 1.0.8-7 Utilities for using ACPI power man ii dmidecode 2.9-1 Dump Desktop Management Interface ii finger 0.17-12 user information lookup program ii hdparm 8.9-3 tune hard disk parameters for high ii laptop-detect 0.13.7 attempt to detect a laptop ii libc6 2.9-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.2-22 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii powermgmt-base 1.30+nmu1 Common utils and configs for power ii vbetool 1.1-2 run real-mode video BIOS code to a ii x11-xserver-utils 7.4+2 X server utilities Versions of packages acpi-support recommends: ii dbus 1.2.12-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii hal 0.5.11-8 Hardware Abstraction Layer ii nvclock 0.8b4-1 Allows you to overclock your nVidi ii pm-utils 1.2.4-2 utilities and scripts for power ma ii radeontool 1.5-5 utility to control ATI Radeon back ii toshset 1.74-3 Access much of the Toshiba laptop Versions of packages acpi-support suggests: pn laptop-mode-tools <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- Matthias Hentges Cologne / Germany GPG -> gpg --keyserver gpg-keyserver.de --recv-keys 0xAF3030D9 My OS: Debian SID: Geek by Nature, Linux by Choice -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
