I burned the Karmic Koala Alpha 2 64-bit desktop image to a CD-RW, booted off it, and tried reproducing the problem using the steps in comment 0:
- Brightness keys on the keyboard can now turn the backlight off, which was not previously possible. - Brightness keys now navigate a reasonably smooth gradient from full-bright to off. - xrandr's BACKLIGHT_CONTROL still defaults to 'native' - xrandr's BACKLIGHT property, under 'native' control, still exhibits all the strange odd/even behaviour mentioned in the original comment. I would say this bug has become less urgent, since my brightness keys now work properly without intervention, but the underlying problem is still present. ** Attachment added: "Xorg log, as requested." http://launchpadlibrarian.net/28483060/bug-367309-Xorg.0.log -- [i945GM] xrandr backlight control is bizarre on Macbook https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/367309 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
