Hi, I've recently updated to 9.10, and the problem no longer exists for me. BTW I'm not going to try Lucid anytime soon, I'm sorry; maybe others can report on that.

[Bug 239413] Re: Four steps of brightness changing after pressing a brightness key only once
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Lucid Lynx. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/. If this is still a problem in Lucid, please execute the following command, as it will automatically gather debugging information, in a terminal: apport-collect 239413 This will help us to find and resolve the problem. Bear in mind that you may need to install the python-launchpadlib package from the universe repository. Additionally, when prompted to give apport-collect permissions for Launchpad you will need to give it at least the ability to "Change Non-Private" data as it will be adding information to your bug report.

I guess they solved just one duplication but there's one more left. BTW, my machine has an odd number (7) of levels of brightness, so I can get them all: start with the top one and then lower by one key press at a time to get the odd levels, until you get to level 1, so the next will be 0. Going up from there will give you the even ones, until you get to 6, so the next will be 7, the top level, and you can start all over again. I also used to have around the brightness applet as a fall-back. Hope this helps.

Linux calliope 2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:57:59 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux ii gnome-power-ma 2.24.2-2ubuntu Thinkpad T42. The brightness is switched down by gpm 3 or 4 steps, but only 2 steps up. This happens in AC mode and on battery, every few minutes the user has to lighten up the display. The osd shows the step when gpm control the backlight down. Saves lot of energy, but is extremly annoying. Thanks for tips to disable this completely.

[Bug 239413] Re: Four steps of brightness changing after pressing a brightness key only once
Hi, same problem here. (BTW I'm sorry to have filed a duplicate bug; yesterday I couldn't find this thread). IMHO it could be a kernel problem (conflicts between modules or else). If I run "showkey -s" within a VT, I get the following output, just by pressing "brightness up" (even if not releasing the key, which has no efects at all): 0xe0 0x54 0xe0 0x54 0xe0 0xd4 0xe0 0x54 0xe0 0xd4 0xe0 0xd4 0xe0 0x54 0xe0 0xd4 and pressing "brightness down": 0xe0 0x4c 0xe0 0x4c 0xe0 0xcc 0xe0 0x4c 0xe0 0xcc 0xe0 0xcc 0xe0 0x4c 0xe0 0xcc Similar results with "showkey" without -s parameter (instead of two bytes groups it gives three bytes ones).

Sympy: Yes, I am. That was the name I had lost ^^. For me, blacklisting the video-module fixed everything, and since the hal-info-update, I tried unblacklisting video again. Reboot proved brightness control was still working for me. However, the FN-F8 to switch from CRT to DFP/LCD is gone.

[Bug 239413] Re: Four steps of brightness changing after pressing a brightness key only once
The hal-update that arrived lately (yesterday?) fixes this, it seems. However, unblacklisting the video-module breaks FN-F8 (CRT/LCD-Switcher) for me. Brightness-control works fine again, even with video-module loaded.

With regards to #3, this can be partially fixed by disabling a gconf key. In particular, /apps/gnome-power-manager/backlight/enable ...

[Bug 239413] Re: Four steps of brightness changing after pressing a brightness key only once
Some other observations: 1) Executing /etc/acpi/video_brightnessdown.sh or /etc/acpi/video_brightnessup.sh changes the brightness just one step, but tweaking those scripts, or even deleting them, has no effect in the bug. It seems they are not called at all when the Fn keys are pressed, I don't know if this is expected behavior. 2) Blacklisting the video module fixes the four-step behavior, but causes other problems. A brightness change pop-up does not appear anymore, the brightness applet loses sync with the current brightness and trying to change brightness through the applet causes a two-second hanging for each step. 3) hal and gnome-power manager also seem to be conflicting in automatic brightness adjustment. A quick flicker when I unplug the ac cable indicates that the brightness was adjusted twice. -- Four steps of brightness changing after pressing a brightness key only once https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/239413 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
