[Bug 1308674] [NEW] [Lenovo ThinkPad X220] kernel 3.13 i915 brightness settings broken when going from docked -> undocked
You have been subscribed to a public bug: This happens on my X220, running trusty, linux 3.13.0-24-generic. It's the exact same problem discussed on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1067071. Discussed also on kernel mailing list: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/19/720. It worked on 3.12, and upstream acknowledges the regression. To reproduce, remove the X220 from the dock. The brightness is set to minimum (the screen is nearly unreadable) and the brightness control is broken, you can't adjust it by hardware keys. My hardware: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Lenovo Device 21da Kernel driver in use: i915 Docked on a ThinkPad mini dock series 3. I have nothing much relevant in /var/log/syslog. Below there are excerpts of it when brightness is working: Apr 16 14:55:37 galactica kernel: [79261.217384] [drm:asle_set_backlight], bclp = 0x80ff Apr 16 14:55:37 galactica kernel: [79261.217390] [drm:asle_set_backlight], updating opregion backlight 255/255 Apr 16 14:55:37 galactica kernel: [79261.217394] [drm:intel_panel_get_max_backlight], max backlight PWM = 4648 Apr 16 14:55:37 galactica kernel: [79261.217396] [drm:intel_panel_actually_set_backlight], set backlight PWM = 4590 Apr 16 14:55:37 galactica kernel: [79261.217537] [drm:asle_set_pwm_freq], PWM freq is not supported And brightness not working: Apr 16 15:23:46 galactica kernel: [80948.263160] [drm:asle_set_backlight], bclp = 0x8058 Apr 16 15:23:46 galactica kernel: [80948.263168] [drm:asle_set_pwm_freq], PWM freq is not supported Apr 16 15:23:46 galactica kernel: [80948.280637] [drm:asle_set_backlight], bclp = 0x8041 Apr 16 15:23:46 galactica kernel: [80948.280642] [drm:asle_set_pwm_freq], PWM freq is not supported A workaround is to echo values directly to /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness.
