[Bug 740893] Re: Kernel 2.6.38-7 completely dims screen on Intel GMA 4500M

2012-08-18 Thread Michael Chapman
It looks like I spoke too soon about the fix in comment #53. According to this: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2012-August/019770.html a better fix will be in Linux 3.7, hopefully. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is

I've managed to fix this for my machine (Acer Aspire 5732z). Someone has added an intel_quirk to linux / drivers / gpu / drm / i915 / intel_display.c called 'quirk_invert_brightness'. But it is only set for Acer Aspire 5734z. I added the settings for my laptop to intel_display.c (around line 7135)

I think patching Linux to add the Acer 5732z parameters is in the pipeline. I resolved this issue only 3 days ago by working with someone involved in creating quirk_invert_brightness. I don't think this is high on his priority list, but he said he would submit a patch. After that, I assume it will

It's not reproducable, though I have seen it occur on multiple occasions on different machines. It was occurring when trying to run a euca-bundle command in the guest this time, which I guess was calling bzip at some point. Predictably it only occurs when the guest is under any load. The CentOS

2010-06-13 Thread Michael Chapman
I found a workaround for this. I have Lucid Lynx Ubuntu on a 5732 Z with Intel Mobile 4 Series Chipset. Use 'lspci | grep VGA' to get your device address. Mine is '00:02.0' Then call 'sudo setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=XX' where XX is a hexadecimal byte. In my case, '00' is full brightness and 'FF'
