Re: [Bug 804595] Re: Sony Vaio VPCS132FX/B Ambient Light sensor does not work
Does this control just keyboard backlight only or will it enable the ambient light sensor to change display backlight as well since this is the full use of the sensor? I haven't tried your solution yet but I would still flag this as a bug if it doesn't control display backlight.

[Bug 804595] Re: Sony Vaio VPCS132FX/B Ambient Light sensor does not work
This is still a bug. The fix I posted appears to set backlighting on when keys are pressed (and switches it off after the set delay time). The ambient light sensor does not appear to work (ie. in a fully lit room, the keyboard still lights up). I am certain this is a kernel regression. It worked fine prior to the 3.0 kernel release. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/804595 Title: Sony Vaio VPCS132FX/B Ambient Light sensor does not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/804595/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . If possible, please test the latest release candidate kernel (Not a kernel in the daily directory). Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag(Only that one tag, please leave the others). 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 'needs-upstream-testing' text. If this bug is fixed by the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream-KERNEL-VERSION'. For example, if kernel version 3.1-rc9 fixed and issue, the tag would be: 'kernel-fixed- upstream-v3.1-rc9'. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'. Thanks in advance. ** Tags added: needs-upstream-testing -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/804595 Title: Sony Vaio VPCS132FX/B Ambient Light sensor does not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/804595/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
