I have a VAIO VGN-NR230AE and both on Hardy and Intrepid only rc.local/xrandr + manual xbacklight works.
Also on Hardy the functions keys don't even produce any ACPI events according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/HotkeyResearch (see bug #251665), I haven't tested this on Intrepid yet, though. -- unable to adjust screen brightness on recent Sony Vaio notebooks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173652 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
