Public bug reported: Brightness control is broken on Acer Aspire 6920G using 2.6.27-11-generic x64 GNU/Linux.
It's not an applet problem, since I updated linux to JAUNTY and applet works properly and is responsive to hotkeys. But even on JAUNTY, brighness can't be controlled and is not responsive. Actually when I start the system under 2.6.27-11-generic x64 GNU/Linux (on acer aspire 6920G) - my directory '/proc/acpi/video' is EMPTY - and LCD brightness can't be changed, both from terminal and FN keys. - Plus, if I use FN keys, the applet reacts to Brightness- but doens't react to Brightness+ when I start the 2.6.27-9-generic, instead, I have the proper directories and the system (and applet) working. It's a pity the acpi has broken in this last kernel release. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Brightness control (not just the applet) on Acer Aspire 6920G is broken (after 2.6.27-11 linux update) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/356992 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
