... I don't really think this is a good feature, if it's by design, IMO it's poor design. Is this a HAL issue or GPM? -- Rediculous number of software brightness steps. 18 vs. 8 before on ThinkPad https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/149780 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

No longer much of an issue on Hardy Beta. Though, maybe by design, brightness goes down two steps at a time (5 total), but up every step (8 total levels). -- Rediculous number of software brightness steps. 18 vs. 8 before on ThinkPad https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/149780 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Here's the log. I was made after implementing my fix above, but I don't think that makes a difference. ** Attachment added: gpm.log http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12669805/gpm.log -- Rediculous number of software brightness steps. 18 vs. 8 before on ThinkPad https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/149780 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 149780] Re: Rediculous number of software brightness steps. 18 vs. 8 before on ThinkPad
I can confirm this bug on my Lenovo ThinkPad T60
Suggested cause:
Using /sys/class/backlight/* to control the brightness rather than
/proc/acpi/ibm/brightness
Suggested Solution:
Use the ibm section of
/usr/lib/hal/scripts/linux/hal-system-lcd-{get,set}-brightness-linux rather
than the we have /sys/class/backlight section. This, in turn, uses
/proc/acpi/ibm/brightness.
I've attached a little work around that I figured out. It changes the
keys/values in the Backlight entry of hal so that hal uses the ibm
section. It is an alteration to the file found at
/usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-laptop-panel-
hardware.fdi
Does this work for anyone else?
Also, I'm not familiar with the syntax of the FDI files. I just set the
linux.sysfs_path to an empty string. What's the syntax to have it
removed?
