- On my Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop brightness keys work fine because they are
done in
I tried fedora 9 and indeed the brightness keys work, but not correctly!
(No dim on idle etc). It worked on ubuntu this way during hardy's
alpha's (stopped working somewhere around alpha 6/beta). For this to
work correctly all brightness changes should be done by hal so dim on
idle/battery can
Hey, did you know it works good on Fedora8 and 9?
If I only knew what to look for...

I added libsmbios to this bug because I think it is caused there. I
recompiled the source with debug output enabled (apt-get source
debuild). I cannot set the brightness with the tools in libsmbios-bin
either. Results are as above and I noted two other things: When trying
to set the AC mode
Oh yes, the brightness keys do not change the brightness anymore since
some update between 8.04-beta and now. hal/gpm do get events for them
though (which is good) but I do not have any means of changing the
brightness now.

About gpm, leave it invalid for now, but I guess when the hal bug is
fixed it still requires gpm changes so it does not do stuff twice.

An Error occurred. The Error message is:

Setting to 'new' since there is more info.

Ah but it does produce some different results, hal does not seem to
receive the brightness level correctly.

Good point since I saw in the code that password support is not
implemented. Unfortunately it still does not work after unsetting the
password.

What does the command dellLcdBrightness do (you have to run it as
root)? Can you set the brightness with this program? Is the kernel
module loaded?

Yes, I think HAL should be handling how the brightness gets set.

I had a similar problem - because I had a BIOS password set. Try to
unset the BIOS password if you have set one, then changing the
brightness on idle should work.

Setting gpm status back to new, since as I explained gpm is also
affected because it needs to respect
'laptop_panel.brightness_in_hardware' which I think can't be handled
properly in hal. If you have good reasons to believe otherwise, please
set it back as you wish.

I'm dropping this from GPM as it seems to be HAL issue in that it is
controlling the backlight the wrong way for this laptop.
Thanks. Ted.

Here's the output from gnome-power-bugreport.sh The other debugging
thingies don't provide more information, I already looked at them
intensively for this (kinda related, but solved) bug:

I already made a quickdirty hack
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better. Could you please attach the resulting log file of: gnome-power-

look to the Debugging instructions located at
