Why is this bug report invalid?  I still have the problem in 14.04.03
LTS.  Who decides to change it?

  The brightness controls of laptops with NVIDIA NVS 3100M or Quadro FX
  880M GPUs work  while running Nouveau or when using a text mode VT,
  but not while running X and using proprietary NVIDIA drivers.  It is
  possible to force the NVIDIA driver to control the backlight by adding
  [Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1"] to the "Devices"
  section of xorg.conf . While this allows the backlight to be
  controlled, the increments are inconsistent and often result in a
  buzzing noise from the LED backlight on Lenovo ThinkPad T510s and
  W510s. Since this did not occur while running nouveau or when
  switching in text VT, something is wrong.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 562005] Re: Backlight controls of laptops with NVIDIA NVS and Quadro FX 880M GPUs no longer function while using proprietary drivers

2015-10-06 Thread Mike Grabowski
I had just recently done a clean install of Ubuntu-Mate 15.04 and after
loading the Nvidia driver, again saw this issue. Following the below
instructions seems to have completely fixed it for me. I had previously
tried many other suggestions/recommendations with minimal to no success.
(I have a Lenovo W510 Laptop)

<---
I was able to get my brightness keys working on my Lenovo W530 on Ubuntu 12.04.

These days X automatically configures itself, so creating an xorg.conf
file might make your system inflexible. Instead you can add a section to
a file in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ and X will include that section in
the configuration that it automatically generates.

So to get the screen brightness keys working with your Nvidia graphics
card, create a file in the xorg.conf.d directory, e.g:

sudo gedit /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia-brightness.conf

Paste the following into the file:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BoardName  "Quadro K1000M"
Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1"
EndSection

Log out and log back in, or reboot, and your brightness keys should now
work!

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 562005] Re: Backlight controls of laptops with NVIDIA NVS and Quadro FX 880M GPUs no longer function while using proprietary drivers

2015-10-06 Thread Po-Hsu Lin
For those who still affected by this bug, please note that discussion in
a Invalid bug tend to be IGNORED.

This bug was set to "Invalid" due to this version of Ubuntu is no longer 
supported.
To this point we're unable to know if it's fixed in between and broken again, 
or it's just not working from the beginning.

Also, this kind of bug needs log file for investigation, it's unreliable
to use such an old bug for it, not mention log files from a third person
(as the configuration could be different)

Please OPEN A NEW BUG [1] if your system still affected by this, you can
do it with `ubuntu-bug linux` command in a terminal (Ctrl + Alt + t)

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 562005] Re: Backlight controls of laptops with NVIDIA NVS and Quadro FX 880M GPUs no longer function while using proprietary drivers

2015-06-26 Thread Martin Spacek
What version is no longer supported? Really? We need to open up a new
bug report for a bug that's 5 years old and counting? This has never
been fixed, and likely never will be by nvidia. I'm currently on the
last supported version, 340.76, in Xubuntu 14.04. Still doesn't work.
But we *should* keep a bug report open on this, at least as a monument
to nvidia's apathy.

2015-06-26 Thread dino99
@Martin,

5 years old, and no one have taken time to glance at it. And the fact it is a 
mix of kernel/drm/DE issue, not a graphic driver one.
So reopening that report is useless as it reffer to old 
languages/compiler/kernel/default settings/

there is plenty of similar reports around and forums discussions about
that.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 562005] Re: Backlight controls of laptops with NVIDIA NVS and Quadro FX 880M GPUs no longer function while using proprietary drivers

2015-06-26 Thread Hans Deragon
Copying here my own observations about the problem, from my previous bug
report #1389215, now marked as a duplicate of this one.

---

Brightness controls are not working in Unity / Xorg. When pressing the
keys fnhome and fnend on my Lenovo W510, I see the indicator on
the screen showing the level of brightness changing, so key mapping is
not the problem. However, the brightness is not changing.

On the kernel level, I have the single following device:

# cd /sys/class/backlight
# ls -l
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Nov 3 17:16 acpi_video0 - 
../../devices/pci:00/:00:03.0/:01:00.0/backlight/acpi_video0

When playing with the fnhome and fnend, the value of
/sys/class/backlight/brightness changes accordingly. The screen
brightness does not change.

Performing:

# echo 10 brightness

...does not have any effect (regardless of the value provided, 10 being
just an example).

WORKAROUND

There is an odd workaround. Simply go to the console using
CTRLALTF1 and using the fnhome and fnend keys, brightness
then changes. Return to Unity / Xorg with CTRLALTF7 and the
selected brightness persists.

NON WORKING WORKAROUND

On the web, I read that adding:

Option RegistryDwords EnableBrightnessControl=1'

in xorg.conf might fix the problem. I do not have an xorg and when I let
the proprietary Nvidia driver generate one and add this option, X does
not start anymore.

Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS with latest updates as of this writing.



I tried under KDE Plasma 5.1 (Neon) and still I could not change the
brightness of the backlight.

However, the CLI commands that fail in a terminal running under an Xorg
session work flawlessly under a console (CTRLALTF1).

cd /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0

echo 5 brightness # Works under the console!
echo 10 brightness # Works under the console!

This all suggest that somehow, Xorg is inhibiting the brightness
control.



Found out that brightness control works fine with Nouveau driver, but
not with Nvidia proprietary driver.



Discovered another behaviour. If you play with the brightness controls
under Xorg, nothing changes. However, suspend the computer and resume
it, and the brightness will be setup to the last setup you left when
playing with the brightness controls. Thus, the value in the kernel
persists.

You can also test this with the CLI:

# cd /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0
# echo 10 brightness # Nothing happens
# cat actual_brightness
10
# echo 5 brightness # Nothing happens
# cat actual_brightness
5

suspend computer
resume computer

Now the brightness level is set to 5 and the screen finds itself at that
level.

In the backend, the controls are changing the brightness levels, it is
just that during an Xorg Session with NVIDIA proprietary drivers, the
screen's real brightness is not updated. As if the hardware signal to
the screen is never sent, except when in the console or upon resume.



I replaced the official proprietary NVIDIA driver nvidia-331 with
nvidia-340 from xorg-edgers and the problem persists. nvidia-340
(340.76) is the latest driver for the legacy card Quadro FX 880M of my
Lenovo W510.



I tried acpi_backlight=vendor on grub to novail. It even stopped working
on the TTY. Putting grub as it was restored the functionality back in
the TTY. Under X11, the problem persists.

If anyone cares, I have a 880M w510 lenovo laptop running vivid and
yes, this is still broken. If anyone needs some extra details I can
provide that.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 562005] Re: Backlight controls of laptops with NVIDIA NVS and Quadro FX 880M GPUs no longer function while using proprietary drivers

2014-06-30 Thread Martin Spacek
For my future reference, and possibly others:

After installing Xubuntu 14.04 on my Thinkpad W510, generating
/etc/X11/xorg.conf with nvidia-settings and adding the
EnableBrightnessControl line to the Devices section and rebooting did
not work (it worked in Xubuntu 12.10). Instead, I had to create a
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia-brightness.conf file and add the
Devices section to that. It's described in this blog post:

http://blog.pearce.org.nz/2012/08/enabling-external-monitor-on-
lenovo.html

You should probably change the BoardName to whatever it is for your
system (mine is Quadro FX 880M).

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 562005] Re: Backlight controls of laptops with NVIDIA NVS and Quadro FX 880M GPUs no longer function while using proprietary drivers

2013-11-11 Thread Dana Goyette
On my workplace Thinkpad W530 (Quadro K1000M in discrete-only mode), 
EnableBrightnessControl=1 does in fact expose a working Backlight property 
via xrandr.
Unfortunately, Gnome is looking for a property called BACKLIGHT, and falls 
back to /sys/class/backlight when it's not found.
See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/947919

I've also managed to get the nvidiabl module to work, by setting the
'type' and 'max' parameters.

Gnome prefers backlights of type platform over type raw.   The non-
working thinkpad_screen is type platform, and nvidia_backlight
defaults to raw.   Setting nvidia_backlight to platform fixes this.

My approach for figuring out the proper value of 'max':

1. Start with EnableBrightnessControl=1 set.

2. Load nvidiabl with some value (such as 0x1000) for 'max'.(If your 
backlight turns entirely off, doing step 3 should turn it back on.)
modprobe nvidiabl max=number

3.  Use xbacklight to change brightness to some lower value, then back to 100.  
(If you just try to reapply 100, it won't work.)
xbacklight -set 50; xbacklight -set 100

4. Check what the reported 'actual_brightness' and 'brightness' values are.
grep . /sys/class/backlight/nvidia_backlight/*brightness

5.  If brightness and actual_brightness both equal the max_brightness value, 
you've found a 'max' that works.
If actual_brightness and brightness are below max_brightness, the guess for 
'max' was too high.
If they're above max_brightness, the guess for 'max' was too low.

6.  As a final sanity check, I verified that the brightness slider in
gnome works smoothly (that is, brightness changes occur over the whole
range).

7.  Save that max in a module config file; I tend to put all my personal 
options in /etc/modprobe.d/custom.conf
options nvidiabl type=platform max=value you found

Now I just need to remove EnableBrightnessControl, since as it is now,
the nvidia driver reverts to the xbacklight value (100) whenever I click
a link in an e-mail.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 562005] Re: Backlight controls of laptops with NVIDIA NVS and Quadro FX 880M GPUs no longer function while using proprietary drivers

2013-04-17 Thread Martin Spacek
Xubuntu 12.10 updated to nvidia 304.88 a day or so ago, and now
brightness controls are even more uneven than before. I've tried
regenerating xorg.conf using nvidia-settings, and re-adding [Option
RegistryDwords EnableBrightnessControl=1] to the Device section, but
that hasn't helped. I also tried nvidia 313.30 from xorg-edgers, but
brightness controls seemed to be just as uneven.

3 years and this still hasn't been fixed. I'm waiting hopefully for
nouveau to finally implement proper power management implemented, so I
can ditch this nvidia crap for good. Linus perfectly expressed my
frustration with this company with his simple gesture:

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 562005] Re: Backlight controls of laptops with NVIDIA NVS and Quadro FX 880M GPUs no longer function while using proprietary drivers

2012-10-31 Thread Martin Spacek
I just tried installing 304.60 from
https://launchpad.net/~noobslab/+archive/nvidia-quantal on my fresh
install of Xubuntu 12.10 amd64 with no xorg.conf. Brightness controls
did *not* work, as usual, so I'd say it isn't fixed.

Note that the packages at that PPA are labelled as
304.60-0ubuntu1~precise~xup2, so maybe they're not ideal for quantal,
but they do seem to work. I couldn't find any other PPA with quantal
packages for 304.60. At least not yet.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 562005] Re: Backlight controls of laptops with NVIDIA NVS and Quadro FX 880M GPUs no longer function while using proprietary drivers

2012-10-23 Thread Tom Gelinas
I've removed all my X11 quirks and tested 304.60, the backlight controls
seem to work. They're still really buggy, but no effort is needed to get
them working. Packages meant for Ubuntu 12.04 arr available here:
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates?field.series_filter=precise
. Please let me know if I was sloppy in testing this, but I think it's
fixed.

Brendan Donegan:  There are no show-stopping bugs with the open-source
drivers, but there are some features that are unsupported, such as HDMI
audio support, clocking  adjustments, VDPAU support. Those last 2 have a
significant impact on battery life, but the machine's still usable. The
T510's certification makes sense to me, thanks for responding!

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 562005] Re: Backlight controls of laptops with NVIDIA NVS and Quadro FX 880M GPUs no longer function while using proprietary drivers

2012-10-19 Thread Brendan Donegan
When certifying systems with Ubuntu, we only test with the open-source
graphics drivers installed by Ubuntu. If these do not work properly then
we will try with the proprietary drivers. So this particular system has
never been tested by us with the proprietary drivers, and it is correct
to refer to it as being certified since it apparently works fine with
the open-source ones. Is there a particular reason why the proprietary
NVIDIA driver is desirable over nouveau for this system?

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 562005] Re: Backlight controls of laptops with NVIDIA NVS and Quadro FX 880M GPUs no longer function while using proprietary drivers

2012-10-18 Thread Martin Spacek
The latest certified nvidia blob (304.60) mentions this:

Added support for the Backlight RandR output property for configuring
the brightness of some notebook internal panels.

http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-amd64-304.60-driver.html

Could it be this is finally the fix we've been waiting for? Anyone tried
this latest version yet? I just installed Xubuntu 12.10 and with nvidia
304.51 I still need to add EnableBrightnessControl=1 to xorg.conf, and
the brightness increments on my Thinkpad W510 are large and uneven, as
always.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 562005] Re: Backlight controls of laptops with NVIDIA NVS and Quadro FX 880M GPUs no longer function while using proprietary drivers

2012-10-18 Thread Tom Gelinas
Not to say that /etc/X11/xorg.conf has been deprecated, but: The X11
Quirks files are a quick way to fix backlight control issues. I have
smashed/replaced my LCD panel since reporting this bug, and no longer
hear a buzzing noise when changing brightness while forcing the
proprietary NVIDIA driver to control brightness.

For X11 quirk-related documentation, please read /usr/share/ubuntu-
drivers-common/quirks/lenovo_thinkpad , and also
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Quirks .

You can make a new quirk file that applies to your laptop. This sucks,
but anyone can submit a patch. (Bad answer). Good luck!

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 562005] Re: Backlight controls of laptops with NVIDIA NVS and Quadro FX 880M GPUs no longer function while using proprietary drivers

2012-10-18 Thread Tom Gelinas
Also, Martin: Brightness increments are still uneven for me. I'm
terrified of hitting brightness up/down hotkeys too quickly, because I
get a frozen display. No kernel panic though, I'll see if I can acess my
laptop through SSH next time this happens. So anoying, no satisfaction!

Bug description:
  The brightness controls of laptops with NVIDIA NVS 3100M or Quadro FX
  880M GPUs work  while running Nouveau or when using a text mode VT,

  possible to force the NVIDIA driver to control the backlight by adding
  [Option RegistryDwords EnableBrightnessControl=1] to the Devices
  section of xorg.conf . While this allows the backlight to be
  controlled, the increments are inconsistent and often result in a
  buzzing noise from the LED backlight on Lenovo ThinkPad T510s and
  W510s. Since this did not occur while running nouveau or when
  switching in text VT, something is wrong.

2012-10-18 Thread Tom Gelinas
This Ubuntu Advantage program has failed us, I have and will probably
whine again here:
http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201101-7181/

The Lenovo Thinkpad T510 laptop has been awarded the status of
Certified for Ubuntu.

Follow-up! I'm not a paying customer, but I'll whine if I can't whine.

2012-09-26 Thread Scott Lanham
I have an Asus G55VW and backlight hotkeys do not work and neither does
trying to directly manipulate /sys/class/backlight ... I have tried
adding Option RegistryDwords EnableBrightnessControl=1  and
changing the kernel boot params but with no success.
