The latest certified nvidia blob (304.60) mentions this: "Added support for the "Backlight" RandR output property for configuring the brightness of some notebook internal panels."
http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-amd64-304.60-driver.html Could it be this is finally the fix we've been waiting for? Anyone tried this latest version yet? I just installed Xubuntu 12.10 and with nvidia 304.51 I still need to add "EnableBrightnessControl=1" to xorg.conf, and the brightness increments on my Thinkpad W510 are large and uneven, as always. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/562005 Title: Backlight controls of laptops with NVIDIA NVS and Quadro FX 880M GPUs no longer function while using proprietary drivers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-certification/+bug/562005/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ 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
