Doesn't look like the patch has been accepted into the upstream kernel yet. Setting this to Triaged to track the progress. Once this is merged upstream the Ubuntu kernel will pull it in.

Confirmed on ubuntu jaunty. When starting playback in VLC and mplayer laptop screen brightness is set to lowest possible value.

[Bug 201544] Re: mplayer brightness reduces on playback
I pulled mplayer from svn trunk hoping to build and see it myself. The configure script successfully passed DPMS Check, although I had no libxcb-dpms* package installed. So, I installed libxcb-dpms0, libxcb-dpms0-dev and rebuilt mplayer from trunk. Now, mplayer does not dim display (no need to disable DPMS in xorg.conf). -- mplayer brightness reduces on playback https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/201544 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

I have the same problem on Intel GM965 X3100 running up-to-date 8.10. Upgrading xserver-xorg-video-intel to 2.5.1 and libdrm to 2.4.1 did not help. However, disabling DPMS in Monitor section in xorg.conf helped, and now mplayer does not dim display.

[Bug 201544] Re: mplayer brightness reduces on playback
Tested it a bit further, mplayer backend used has no effect. However, I *can* reproduce this with just xset -dpms. So it is disabling the DPMS, that makes the video card use the lower brightness on battery, even when the BIOS has been set not to lower the brightness. -- mplayer brightness reduces on playback https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/201544 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 201544] Re: mplayer brightness reduces on playback
Actually, that didn't work at all - the behavior is just sporadic and I can't really reproduce it consistently. It's also happening at other times, such as occasionally while alt-tabbing between windows, so I'm going to look at bugs for gnome power management in general and bother them about it. :) -- mplayer brightness reduces on playback https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/201544 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 201544] Re: mplayer brightness reduces on playback
I seem to have the same problem, only in my case it turns the brightness up to 100%. My laptop is a Thinkpad R60e. Maybe this is rather a bug in gnome-power-manager, because as far as I can see, mplayer tries to disable both screensaver and power manager, and the power manager controls the brightness, possibly resetting it to a default value. I'm just guessing, though. :) -- mplayer brightness reduces on playback https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/201544 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 201544] Re: mplayer brightness reduces on playback
Strangely enough, the problem stopped when I called gmplayer instead of mplayer. After that, the regular mplayer worked fine, too. Maybe it was something unrelated, though, so I'll see if it comes back up, try it again and then post here. -- mplayer brightness reduces on playback https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/201544 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 201544] Re: mplayer brightness reduces on playback
Well, it doesn't really fix the problem, but it's a workaround of sorts. GMPlayer just set a preference in the mplayer config file to not disable the screensaver, and regular mplayer sticks to that. -- mplayer brightness reduces on playback https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/201544 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
