This patch does only one thing - uses gint32 instead of glong for brightness levels. There are no other changes to the code. Both auto-dimming and panel plugin work on my 64-bit Ubuntu 13.04 with this patch.
To apply, download patch and: sudo apt-get install fakeroot debhelper build-essetial sudo apt-get build-dep xfce4-power-manager apt-get source xfce4-power-manager patch -p0 < xfce4-power-manager-brightness.patch cd xfce4-power-manager-1.2.0 dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b cd .. Now you should have 3 deb packages. ** Patch added: "gint32 conversion patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-power-manager/+bug/1067749/+attachment/3743725/+files/xfce4-power-manager-brightness.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1067749 Title: Screen refuses to dim on battery To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xfce4-power-manager/+bug/1067749/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
