Xubuntu 12.10 updated to nvidia 304.88 a day or so ago, and now brightness controls are even more uneven than before. I've tried regenerating xorg.conf using nvidia-settings, and re-adding [Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1"] to the Device section, but that hasn't helped. I also tried nvidia 313.30 from xorg-edgers, but brightness controls seemed to be just as uneven.
3 years and this still hasn't been fixed. I'm waiting hopefully for nouveau to finally implement proper power management implemented, so I can ditch this nvidia crap for good. Linus perfectly expressed my frustration with this company with his simple gesture: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxHqi8tx048 -- 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
