Re: [Kernel-packages] [Bug 1098216] Re: Regression in brightness control on Lenovo Thinkpad X230 (+tablet) and X1 Carbon
I just tested it on my Thinkpad X1 (haswell) and the fix works. However, there is a side effect. Connecting and Disconnecting the Power resets the brightness to maximum. Not sure how to go about working around this. anmar On 26 February 2014 23:14, madbiologist <1098...@bugs.launchpad.net> wrote: > The upstream 3.14-rc4 kernel also contains this commit: > > author Rafael J.

On 13.10, the brightness works fine but the stepping is screwed up. In other words, you don't get to access all of the brightness levels the LCD offers. Instead, you get half the number of steps. It isn't a show stopper by any stretch so go ahead and get your X1 carbon. It is the best machine out there ;-) On 5 January 2014 19:59, Matthew Tucker-Simmons <1098...@bugs.launchpad.net> wrote: > I'm using an X1 Carbon with 13.10 and the brightness control works fine. > > > On Wed, Jan 1, 2014 at 11:29 AM, CSRedRat <1098...@bugs.launchpad.net>wrote: > >> Fixed?
