However, the Power Manager Brightness Applet can only get my screen's brightness, but cannot actually change the brightness levels. Brightness does not change either when going from AC to Battery or viceversa even if so it is set in the Power Manager preferences. I attach my lshal, but could it be that also for vaios there is an issue similar to this for Dell? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal/+bug/43572 -- In Feisty Power Manager cannot control brightness on an sony vaio https://launchpad.net/bugs/92478 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
