[Bug 90925] Re: hardware brightness keys on lenovo R60e are working "strange" in gnome
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Karmic Koala. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/. Thanks again and we appreciate your help. ** Changed in: gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- hardware brightness keys on lenovo R60e are working "strange" in gnome https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/90925 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
[Bug 90925] Re: hardware brightness keys on lenovo R60e are working "strange" in gnome
I can confirm the bug with an up-to-date Jaunty on my Lenovo 3000 C200. The same thing with brightness keys and applet. I also have a problem with brightness settings : when I configure the system to do not dim the screen after few minutes of inactivity, the setting is ignored and it still tries (and fails) to reduce brightness, what causes the screen to fade many times, while eating 100% of the CPU. Also, when I open VLC, or somme SDL/OpenGl application, the brightness is reduced to its minimal value, and with the first problem, it's hard to restore it. -- hardware brightness keys on lenovo R60e are working "strange" in gnome https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/90925 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

[Bug 90925] Re: hardware brightness keys on lenovo R60e are working "strange" in gnome
I have the same problem with a Lenovo Ideapad Y530. Looking at ACPI, /etc/acpi/events/video_brightnessup and /etc/acpi/events/video_brightnessdown are matched, and the appropriate scripts are called. Even replacing these scripts with "exit" you have the same behavior. So it seems the hardware(?) or the xserver(?) is actually trying to control the brightness. On this computer, /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCDD/brightness shows: levels: 90 80 69 59 49 40 35 27 20 9 1 current: 59 Testing, only those exact values work for the brightness, and they do work fine from the /proc interface. Some folks resolve this by setting 4 and 5 to /proc/acpi/ibm/cmos upon brightnessup and down, respectively. However, /proc/acpi/ibm doesn't exist, and thinkpad_acpi won't load on an Ideapad.

[Bug 90925] Re: hardware brightness keys on lenovo R60e are working "strange" in gnome
More information... With the acpi "video" module unloaded, the brightness up/down hardware keys do nothing. And no ACPI events are generated. So this narrows it down to ACPI events. With it loaded, when the buttons are pressed, acpid notifies both the X server and hald-addon-acpi that the buttons were pressed. Killing hald- addon-acpi does not modify the behavior. Thus, it's gotta be the X server itself getting it backwards. So I think some solutions might be: 1) Tell acpid not to notify the X server for these events, and control it with video_brightnessup.sh and video_brightnessdown.sh via /proc instead. 2) Find out where in the X server the brightness is being set, and fix it for Lenovo(?) models. This Ideapad Y530 has a "Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)" video card, and X is using the "intel" module.

[Bug 90925] Re: hardware brightness keys on lenovo R60e are working "strange" in gnome
I have the same problem with a Lenovo Ideapad Y530. Looking at ACPI, /etc/acpi/events/video_brightnessup and /etc/acpi/events/video_brightnessdown are matched, and the appropriate scripts are called. Even replacing these scripts with "exit" you have the same behavior. So it seems the hardware(?) or the xserver(?) is actually trying to control the brightness. On this computer, /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCDD/brightness shows: levels: 90 80 69 59 49 40 35 27 20 9 1 current: 59 Testing, only those exact values work for the brightness, and they do work fine from the /proc interface. Some folks resolve this by setting 4 and 5 to /proc/acpi/ibm/cmos upon brightnessup and down, respectively. However, /proc/acpi/ibm doesn't exist, and thinkpad_acpi won't load on an Ideapad.

[Bug 90925] Re: hardware brightness keys on lenovo R60e are working "strange" in gnome
More information... With the acpi "video" module unloaded, the brightness up/down hardware keys do nothing. And no ACPI events are generated. So this narrows it down to ACPI events. With it loaded, when the buttons are pressed, acpid notifies both the X server and hald-addon-acpi that the buttons were pressed. Killing hald- addon-acpi does not modify the behavior. Thus, it's gotta be the X server itself getting it backwards. So I think some solutions might be: 1) Tell acpid not to notify the X server for these events, and control it with video_brightnessup.sh and video_brightnessdown.sh via /proc instead. 2) Find out where in the X server the brightness is being set, and fix it for Lenovo(?) models. This Ideapad Y530 has a "Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)" video card, and X is using the "intel" module.

I can confirm the bug with an up-to-date Jaunty on my Lenovo 3000 C200. The same thing with brightness keys and applet. I also have a problem with brightness settings : when I configure the system to do not dim the screen after few minutes of inactivity, the setting is ignored and it still tries (and fails) to reduce brightness, what causes the screen to fade many times, while eating 100% of the CPU. Also, when I open VLC, or somme SDL/OpenGl application, the brightness is reduced to its minimal value, and with the first problem, it's hard to restore it. -- hardware brightness keys on lenovo R60e are working "strange" in gnome https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/90925 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
