Laurent Almeras : There is a really small bug in your file when I checked them its in your fdi file : If you say "laptop_panel.num_levels = 20 (0x15) (int)" that means the levels will begin from "0" to "19" ( 19-0+1= 20 =num_levels, that is the difference between the number of levels, and the maximum level) It implies that in fact there is "21" num_levels, so you have to update your fdi file!
Sebastian Gaul : I made some tests and it seems that the applet read its informations during the starting of gdm... 1- Firstly you will have to update your fdi file : sudo gedit "/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-sony-laptop-panel-mgmt-policy.fdi" change all the "20" into "21", then save : 2- restart hal : sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart 3- restart your gdm (Ctrl + Alt + backspace), and enjoy (NB: you can just reboot you computer to automatically restart hal and gdm) -- LCD brightness setting doesn't work with Sony Vaio VGN-S5M https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/77739 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
