I remain confused on this point, especially after looking at the fdi files on an edgy box. What changed in hal for feisty that's causing it to require workarounds that weren't necessary for edgy? None of the thinkpads I have access to (between 4 and 6 years old, so only IBM touched them) ever reported Lenovo as the manufacturer. And, btw, the 60_fix_thinkpad_fdi_entries.patch is no help for my T30, since it doesn't report as being a Thinkpad in the system version. Did IBM ever make a laptop that wasn't a thinkpad? -- [Feisty] Thinkpad (all models) LCD brightness control cycles between lowest settings only https://launchpad.net/bugs/81407 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
