[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 686216] Re: Brightness is all the way down at login screen on HP Pavilion dm4
Hey Andrew, Thanks for your interest in Ubuntu. Thanks for testing maverick during its development period. Unfortunately it looks like this bug report didn't get attention during the maverick development period. But I see there's not been more comments on the bug since the release, which makes me wonder if this is still an issue for you? If you've not seen this issue since maverick's release yourself, it may have been solved by kernel or X or other updates that occurred late in the release; if so, would you mind please closing the bug for us? Go to the URL mentioned in this bug report, click the yellow icon(s) in the status column and set to 'Fix Released'. If you no longer have the hardware needed to reproduce the problem, or otherwise feel the bug no longer needs tracked in Launchpad, you can set the status to 'Invalid'. If you are the original reporter and still have this issue, just reply to this email saying so. (Or set the bug status to Confirmed.) If you are able to re-test this against 11.04 Natty Narwhal (our current development focus) and find the issue still affects Natty, please also run 'apport-collect bug-number' while running natty, which will add fresh logs and debug data, and flag it for the Ubuntu-X development team to look at. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/686216 Title: Brightness is all the way down at login screen on HP Pavilion dm4 ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

I am not sure if the following is a relevant workaround for you, but it is worth checking it: See section BRIGHTNESS CONTROL OF THE DISPLAY at http://www.andreas- demmer.de/en/2010/07/18/testbericht-linux-auf-dem-hp-envy-14/ In particular: [...] After having done this, there should exist a file named /sys/class/backlight/i915/brightness. If you write values between 0 and 9 into it, the brightness of the screen changes immediately: echo -n5 /sys/class/backlight/i915/brightness [...] -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/686216 Title: Brightness is all the way down at login screen on HP Pavilion dm4 ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 686216] Re: Brightness is all the way down at login screen on HP Pavilion dm4
From the Fedora bug report: I have an HP Pavilion DM4-1060US. If I remove rhgb quiet from the boot line, it appears that the blank screen begins when the kernel initially configures the console framebuffer. Once the full X server starts via gdm, display is visible. Similar to Description above, adding nomodeset to the kernel command line causes the boot messages to remain visible, although X cannot start because it depends on kernel modesetting in order to operate. The Fedora reporter also tried Ubuntu 10.10, and attached many log files, which may be useful to his report. Contrary to what he says, though, and in key with what the Ubuntu bug description says, using Fn+F3 to increase brightness is enough to see Plymouth on my laptop (a dm4-1170sf). And maybe it's useful to restate that this bug only affects Plymouth: when X is started, brightness is always OK. Still happens with kernel 2.6.38rc5, and with xorg-edgers PPA enabled, FWIW. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Medium ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Status: New = Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/686216 Title: Brightness is all the way down at login screen on HP Pavilion dm4 ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 686216] Re: Brightness is all the way down at login screen on HP Pavilion dm4
Hm, this bug only affects Plymouth: this is true for me, but apparently not for the other reporters, so maybe it's more severe on other submodels of dm4. Andrew, what is the exact reference of your laptop? Can you also confirm again that the GDM login screen (where you choose your user account) is still black if you don't manually change brightness? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/686216 Title: Brightness is all the way down at login screen on HP Pavilion dm4 ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
