Thanks for the attitude. I wasn't "[advising] on the contents of the article", but trying to be a good citizen in pointing out a bug when I got to the vendor backlight stage of the process. I still don't see the point of acpi_backlight=vendor then, but as we're not going to be addressing that, th

I meant "If neither that" btw. I curse twitter because I cannot correct typos. Launchpad seems as painful. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1516370 Title: Vendor backligh

Let's not confuse things. This bug is with Lenovo vendor backlight, and is present on the latest kernel. The guidance on investigating backlight issues recommends using acpi_backlight=vendor. If neither than nor nvidia or nouveau work, then it really doesn't help the situation. Let's see if we

I haven't tested that original issue (for which I will open a separate bug when I have time to investigate further) against different nvidia drivers. Given that this issue is about what happens when I do acpi_backlight=vendor, do I need to investigate that for this bug? -- You received this bug

Wow, that was simple enough (at least it was on my 14.10 install on another partition, where I didn't have virtualbox etc installed). 4.3-wily amd64 packages installed, and bug still exists. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed ** Tags added: kernel-bug-exists-up

For anyone interested in the intel backlight. That still doesn't work on 4.3 either, but I've not dug into that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1516370 Title: Vendor bac

BTW: The "bold guess in the title", won't make sense now, as the title was originally saying that I thought a register was being written incorrectly, until I realised that the backlight does work correctly and it seems to be hotkeys related. If the implementation is idea_laptop.c then I'm taking a

Public bug reported: I've taken a bold guess in the title of this bug. While investigating why on 14.04 LTS, I have working backlight on the latest 3.13 kernel, but not on the 3.16, I tried acpi_backlight=vendor. With default boot parameters, I just get /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/, and
