Summary: LCD backlight brightness too low to be useable, though
changeable
Product: ACPI
Version: 2.5
Kernel Version: 2.6.38-c6
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Tree: Mainline
Status: NEW
Severity: high
Priority: P1
Component: Power-Video
AssignedTo: acpi_power-vi...@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
ReportedBy: nik...@komani.de
CC: nik...@komani.de
Regression: Yes
When running 2.6.38-rc6 from mainline my Dell Inspiron 13" boots up fine but
the brightness level is too low to be useable, its barely readable at indoor
conditions. However I can change the the value with /sys/class.. and with the
hotkeys still it's in the range between nearly off (value 0) to barely readable
(value 15 which is reported as maximum)
This seems to be a regression as it works with bot 2.6.37 and 2.6.37.1
