Thanks, Nikos Correct, pommed is supposed to be used together with Karmic. The reason is the deprecation of HAL; Ubuntu, like several other large distros, are moving away from hal in favor of udev and the DeviceKit effort. As a result, Karmic is suffering from functionlity regressions in certain areas, the backlight handling being one of them. Supposedly, these regressions will all be properly addressed in Lucid, and in the meantime, the pommed package (with some minor changes) is suitable as a stand-in. -- Brightness hotkeys not working on MacBook 5,2 and 4,1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/434071 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

If your graphics cards have a high number of brightness levels, chances are the problem is related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source /gnome-power-manager/+bug/289520. Although that particular bug has been fixed, the problem is still in effect when adjusting the brightness with the keyboard.

[Bug 285815] Re: Backlight keeps getting darker on MacBookPro
Although I am happy that you are looking into this problem, I think the patch is doing the wrong thing: 1. It is introducing more state to the desktop setup - it should be possible to determine the right scaling automatically. 2. The scaling factor in the patch is integral - this is causing all sorts of hysteresis problems, and is the source of the light sensor problem in the first place, since HAL does not treat fractional percent in the dbus interface. Continuing along that track cannot be good. The problem with the low light sensor reading seems to have to do with the new macbooks, starting with MBP41, via MBA11 to the MAP51. Evidently the interface changed, since the new models report a SMC key length of 10, compared to the old 6. Most likely the applesmc_light_show() could be fixed for those models, since the current code only reports values for the left sensor, although two sensors are present. -- Backlight keeps getting darker on MacBookPro https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/285815 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 285815] Re: Backlight keeps getting darker on MacBookPro
So it seems to be reading quite low Yes, this is the experience on several models: MBA11 and MBP41 fall into the same category as your MBP51. The readings are low, but the full span 0-255 is actually used, which can be seen when exposing the sensor for extreme light. The real problem seems to be that neither the kernel nor gnome is equipped to handle sensor readings with such a large dynamic range. For instance, the hal interface used by g-p-m is far too course- grained, only allowing integer percentage values. is this something specific to the applesmc driver on MBP 5,1 At least on my MBA11, the behavior is precisely the same. This could most likely be improved upon in the driver, it has just not been done. -- Backlight keeps getting darker on MacBookPro https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/285815 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I presume you are talking about patch 91.
The current code is executing the body of the for loop for both end
points, cur and shared_value_abs, Besides being unnecessary, it means
the loop exits for a value outside of the valid range. This makes it
impossible to use the guarded_up/down functions, which never leaves the
valid range.
It *is* possible to make the patch smaller, by 18 lines, by leaving the
if statements untouched, like this:

True. I removed the old attachments and added new ones accordingly.

[Bug 289520] [NEW] GPM unresponsive for two minutes after startup on Macbooks
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager Many of the recent Apple MacBooks have a large number of LCD backlight levels. The GPM uses XRandR to modify the backlight. However, the gpm- brightness-xrandr smooth brightness function does not take the number of brightness levels into account. On recent Macbooks, this leads to some 2 brightness-set calls on startup, an activity that takes about one and a half minute. During this time, GPM is not responsive. Attached is a patch that introduces scaled stepping, which fixes the problem. ** Affects: gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- GPM unresponsive for two minutes after startup on Macbooks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/289520 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
