I have now made some tests and the xbacklight utility seems to be completely irrelevant to this problem. This is purely a hal issue.
The problem is basically this, to be more consice: 1) The fujitsu-laptop module creates /sys/class/backlight/fujitsu-laptop 2) Hal sees the interface, hence gpm believes it can handle the backlight 3) The backlight does not change, not with gpm, and neither with the brightness applet ** Summary changed: - gnome-power-manager does not handle backlight properly + gnome-power-manager does not handle backlight properly on fujitsu platforms -- gnome-power-manager does not handle backlight properly on fujitsu platforms https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/197253 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
