[Bug 226894] Re: Backlight control does not work on MacBook Pro 5.1
Alexander Jones, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ . If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux replace-with-bug-number Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the kernel in the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested and remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the text: needs-upstream-testing If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, please comment as to why specifically you were unable to test it and add the following tags: kernel-unable-to-test-upstream kernel-unable-to-test-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER Please let us know your results.

In Oneiric this works fine.

[Bug 226894] Re: Backlight control does not work on MacBook Pro 5.1
After a new Lucid installation backlight control does not work. Not after installing the nvidia_bl_dkms package and adding the line nvidia_bl shift=2 to /etc/modules... The funny thing was that I previously did an upgrade from Karmic and backlight control was working fine (better than in karmic). This is in a MBP 5,3 64 bits. -- Backlight control does not work on MacBook Pro 5.1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/226894 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

Ok, the LCD backlight control does work with the Lucid alpha 3 live CD. It works great -- the brightness range of the indicator bar on screen matches the apparent range of backlight brightness (before, when it was working on Karmic, the ranges were out of sync). A little off topic, but this was my first test with Lucid, and I did have some other issues on the Lucid live CD, though. I tried to install the nvidia-current driver so I could see if it was working, but I couldn't get it to load. I did install the dkms package but I couldn't load the kernel module since the noveau module was installed. I tried to log out to a text login screen by logging out to the GDM screen and switching to a text VT to restart GDM, but I could not switch to another VT. From the GDM screen, pressing Fn-Control-Alt-F1 caused only my mouse cursor to disappear, but it did not switch from the graphical screen. I pressed Fn-Control-Alt-F7 and my cursor reappeared. I logged back in as ubuntu and *wow* my desktop reappeared instantly. gnome- screensaver crashed when I pressed a key to return to the desktop from the blank screen after inactivity. -- Backlight control does not work on MacBook Pro 5.1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/226894 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
