2013-12-25 Thread LaunchPadGirl
I have a Asus G75VW and I've tried 12.04  13.10 and the F5  F6 for
screen brightness doesn't work.

So Ubuntu can't fix this for us, we have to chase this after Upstream?

Personally I thought a big point to Ubuntu was to make for easier end-
user usage and support, so I don't think the end-user should have to
chase the Upstream for fixes, Ubuntu should be helping here to do this.

I would greatly appreciate it if Canonical could get this fixed.

-  Also my F2 key for the Wifi doesn't work.


BIG THANKS

2013-12-19 Thread Rémi Chaintreuil
Got it almost working on elementary OS Lune (based on Precise).

Used to modify /etc/default/grub and xorg.conf on my previous installs,
but brightness controls would only work after resuming from suspend.

I did a new install, and simply installed the latest Nvidia driver in
the repos (319), as well as xbacklight. That did the trick. I can now
modify the brightness with the xbacklight command without doing any
modification to grub or Xorg config, and without having to resume from
suspend. The brightness keys and the brightness slider in Settings still
don't work though, but I assigned keyboard shortcuts to xbacklight -inc
10 and xbacklight -dec 10 and it works ok.

I doesn't really fix the bug, but is much more convenient and simple
that tinkering with various config files. I haven't tested it on pure
Ubuntu though, but I guess it should also work.

Rainer Rohde, as per http://www.asus.com/ROG_ROG/G75VW/#support an
update is available for your BIOS (223). If you update to this following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything?

If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of 
the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version  sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette

Thank you for your understanding.

2012-12-06 Thread Tonny Kohar
Same here ASUS G75VW-BBK series with Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS and NVIDIA driver 304, 
- with/without grub acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor (not working)
- with/without xorg.conf Option “registryDwords” “EnableBrightnessControl=1” 
(not working)
- combination of above not working as well

However, fn F5-F6 works perfectly in Grub Menu, but not longer work once
Ubuntu login screen (and desktop)

note: xrandr --output LVDS-0 --brightness xx works by manipulating image
sent to the screen, but it does not adjust the  real backlight because I
can feel the back of screen lid is warm

workaround: set your desired brightness during grub menu (fn F4-F5 works
perfectly), but you can not change it once your are in login screen (and
desktop), and this does not survive suspend/wake up as well

Brightness settings work perfectly after installing the latest version
of nvidiabl but the fn keys still dont work at all. I can change the
brightness using the slider in system settings and by command line but
the keys are not working still. I also amnot able to get the id of the
keys so that I could manually set the values to them.

Oh the horror... Guess what? What ever upgrade came down the pipe
earlier today did not seem to have survived a reboot.  What a damn
shame.

Now, my brightness control NO LONGER works, and we're back to square
one. Still the same kernel, still on 13.04.

I was so happy to see the brightness control work from the Brightness
and Lock settings, and from the Fn Keys... but no...

Really, though -- what's happening here? How much more frustrating can
it get?

Guys, I found the old bug #726692 (which had been even been filed by
myself) which contains a fix at least for my hardware (which is not an
Asus but a MacBook Pro, see comment #8).

The fix for me is to add this line in xorg.conf:
Option RegistryDwords EnableBrightnessControl=1

Then log out and in again, and it works for me. Sorry that I did not
think of having filed this report before - I did not have to make this
change for a long time.

The fix is not my invention, but as I remember now has been frequently 
recommended since years ago:

This issue appears to be an upstream bug, since you tested the latest
upstream kernel.  Would it be possible for you to open an upstream bug

@Rainer: In  the link given by Jospeh,
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/kernel, it says that the linux-usb
list is for reporting USB bugs, which this is not. Follow the
instructions under Reporting non-USB Bugs Upstream. When looking in
the MAINTAINERS list linked from there, I think the correct maintainer
might be this one, but I'm not sure:

252 ACPI VIDEO DRIVER
253 M:  Zhang Rui rui.zh...@intel.com
254 L:  linux-a...@vger.kernel.org
255 W:  http://www.lesswatts.org/projects/acpi/
256 S:  Supported
257 F:  drivers/acpi/video.c

Maybe Joseph can weigh in. If that's correct, send the email to  linux-
a...@vger.kernel.org. In this and everything else follow the
instructions at Reporting non-USB Bugs UpstreamMETICULOUSLY, otherwise
the report might get ignored upstream or worse. Thanks.

Anyway, I see in the Maintainers list that all ACPI-related reports
except for hardware-specific special cases go to linux-
a...@vger.kernel.org anyway, so it's maybe not crucial to be 100% sure
about the maintainer. However, it might also be this one:

I don't think this has anything at all to do with the nVidia drivers.
The brightness keys require a completely seperate driver from ASUS on
windows. There is no driver available from nVidia for them.

2012-10-02 Thread Joseph Salisbury
Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel?  Refer
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
v3.6 kernel[0] (Not a kernel in the daily directory) and install both
the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages.

Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-
upstream-testing' tag.  Please only remove that one tag and leave the
other tags. 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 in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, 
please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.  
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as 
Confirmed.


Thanks in advance.

@Joseph: In the context of bug #1055475 I tested the 3.6 rc7 mainline kernel 
with nvidia-current and the nvidia-experimental (304.48) drivers on Quantal, 
and the backlight adjustment did not work.
This is on a MacBook Pro 5,4, and not the Asus this bug report is about, but I 
figure it might well be the same problem.

The brightness keys are tied to a piece of hardware that needs a special
driver not covered by the nVidia graphics kernel module or the Linux

already.

I think the problem is outside the scope of nVidia's drivers. It seems
to be an issue of a lack of driver for the screen brightness control
itself and the ACPI keys on the laptop. Those keys were dead weight on
Windows until I installed ASUS's ACPI driver.

So, what can be done in order to have this ACPI call work for the screen

2012-09-20 Thread James Christie
I've tried building some kernels by modifying the config from the ubuntu
defaults matching the settings mentioned in that Gentoo thread with no
luck. I would not take this as gospel though since I don't feel that I'm
terribly competent with kernel building.

In reply to Rainer Rohde: there are only so many developers and so much
time, and many of the bug-fixers both up and downstream aren't even
getting paid for their work. A non-critical issue on a single model of
notebook won't be at the top of the priority list. It is annoying
though, especially when I'm slightly hung over in the morning and get to
stare into the blinding light of my screen at work. =)

Sorry, corrections to my previous comment #8:

1. Typo in the Macbook Pro version number. I meant to write: on a MacBook Pro 
5,3 (mid-2009)
2. Actually I did run Precise on this machine with backlight control working 
with Nvidia. But this had been an Oneiric install which was upgraded. I did not 
verify the Nvidia backlight in a recent new install with 12.04.1, since I only 
ran nouveau for the time it took to upgrade to Quantal beta, where it does not 
work now.

(mid-2009) with NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT.

There is a forum thread discussing missing backlight control with this hardware 
in Precise:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2042999
It says that it helped to install the nvidia_bl module from the same source as 
was given here i the Asus bug report in comment #5.

Nvidia backlight control worked on this machine for all releases I tried
starting in 2009 up to Oneiric. I skipped Precise (where it apparently
was broken according to the forum thread), and now found it out of order
in Quantal.

2012-09-17 Thread James Christie
There appears to be a fix posted here, though I have not yet tried it.
It involves installing a new kernel module and replacing some code in
gnome-settings and recompiling it.

Would be nice if this would be fixed so that it does *not* involve
hacking. :)

The slider for brightness in system settings also does nothing to adjust
the screen brightness.
