Wow, long bug. Hope I didn't miss something obvious. I have a Vaio VGN- CR120E with the " Integrated Graphics Chipset: Intel(R) 965GM" chip set and have always (since at least Hardy beta) been able to adjust the brightness with the following two command lines (although hotkeys have never worked):
sudo /etc/acpi/sonybright.sh up sudo /etc/acpi/sonybright.sh down Not sure how I discovered this workaround for the keys, but in release Hardy someone tipped me off that I could use the panel gnome-brightness- applet which gave me an acceptable solution. Unfortunately that is now broken in Intrepid and I'm back to terminal to adjust my screen brightness :-( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power- manager/+bug/243904 ). Anyway, hope this bit of information might be helpful to others. -- Unable to adjust screen brightness on recent Sony Vaio notebooks, Intel GMA adapter https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173652 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
