I have tried the blacklisting of sonypi using the above instructions, but it still does not work. I am now running Hardy Heron on this machine as well.
I do have a workaround solution in place. I discovered that I can run "smartdimmer" to change brightness without needing to use sudo. I used gconf-editor to add keybindings to metacity for Alt+F5 and ALT+F6. This allows me to change the brightness from my keyboard using something similar to the Fn method. This is obviously sub-optimal for usability and less tech-savy users so I am still very interested in helping to solve this bug. -- Screen Brightness adjustment fails for Sony VAIO VGN-AR250G https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/152095 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
