[Bug 227482] Re: PolicyKit integration

Another use-case is for users who would like to view currently installed packages (and possibly build a markings file) without the intent to commit changes. I do this very often (e.g. view installed packages, dependencies, etc). The ability to make markings file could be useful in a

No. (As of 8.04 I believe ) There are no more dark zones that have to be cycled through There are still a couple of issues but I think they fall under a different bug. Thanks for the follow up. I believe the fix for the referenced bug fixed this. -- Brightness only works at certain levels

[Bug 121833] Re: LCD backlight turns off when between discrete levels, both from hotkeys and from dim-on-idle.

Slightly cleaned-up version of the above workaround. I have had my X session reset a couple times while using this script if I press the brightness Fn keys really fast. But I don't know if that was happening before I was using this script or not. Besides that, it seems stable enough. **

[Bug 121833] Re: LCD backlight turns off when between discrete levels, both from hotkeys and from dim-on-idle.

Here is a really ugly hack that lets HAL/G-P-M work with the odd brightness levels mentioned. There is a README inside the tarball. You have to hard code the legal brightness levels in an FDI file and add some sh script to some HAL scripts. It only works for devices that use the sysfs interface to

[Bug 121833] Re: LCD backlight turns off when between discrete levels, both from hotkeys and from dim-on-idle.

This also affects Gateway MP8708(from another post) and MP8709(mine). The reason why values 12, 37, 62 and 87 aren't working is because of the way G-P-M increments/decrements brightness values. If HAL reports laptop_panel.num_levels 20 then G-P-M will change the brightness level by 1 for each
