Re: Laptop testing: Backlight test needed
James, How did you modify grub for backlighting? Is there a thread or a wiki page on how to do it? I never did get it to work on my Thinkpad 510 with Lucid or Maverick. Until I get better dependability on my desktop, I can't risk my laptop. Joe On 03/27/2011 10:58 AM, James Gifford wrote: +1 for this idea.

Laptop testing: Backlight test needed
I've been going through the laptop tests in preparation for the Natty beta release next week. I noticed that there is no test for backlight dimming. This would be useful to test. It can make a big different on the battery life. My HP Envy 14 passes, but my MacbookPro.2 fails.

Re: New laptop testing
Hi, I have been testing both alpha 2 and alpha 3 on my CQ-60 laptop and everything works with an exception of a minor bug or to. One in particular well crash all of the ccsm manager and your left with a blank desktop. That's not the bad part you can't bring up terminal to fix it. It also affects the the desktop classic session if you log into it. So you are forced to reinstall everything. Iv also put 11.04 on my gateway laptop I haven't tried to reproduce the bug on that one yet. But my main question is has anyone come across that problem on there computer. And if so how can I report it. Darryl Perry -- Ubuntu-qa mailing list Ubuntu-qa@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-qa
