My backlight PPA at https://launchpad.net/~kamalmostafa/+archive/linux- kamal-mjgbacklight has been updated with a revised version of the experimental backlight control patches.
This version also includes various upstream Intel GPU driver changes, and sets the kernel parameter "acpi_backlight=vendor" internally (there is no longer any need to set the parameter to enable the new intel_backlight functionality). A couple of additional kernel boot parameters have also been added for testing/troubleshooting purposes -- see the updated notes on the PPA page for details. The PPA supports Ubuntu Maverick (10.10) and Ubuntu Natty (11.04 alpha). *[pending resolution of a build problem with the Natty version] Users who experience any problems with the PPA version contact me or post here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/568611 Title: Screen brightness control fails on Dell Studio 1558 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
