[Desktop-packages] [Bug 849110] Re: Regression: keyboard backlight hotkeys no longer work
I have also a Macbook Pro 3.1 with Ubuntu 11.10. I can control the brightness using the 3 keys (up/down/toggle) but the behavior is not the right one. The up key works properly. The down key decreases the brightness as expected but when the brightness is set to 0%, there is no backlight (as expected) and the screen indicator says that the brightness is 100% (this is not correct). The toggle key has exactly the same behavior as the down key instead of toggling the brightness. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/849110 Title: Regression: keyboard backlight hotkeys no longer work Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: They keyboard backlight control hotkeys on my Macbook Pro (3,1) no longer function properly in 11.10.

Another issue with the workaround is that the backlight does not obey the ambient light sensor. That is, the backlighting always comes on regardless of whether there is sufficient light detected or not.

I have the same problem on my Sony Vaio.
