Package: pommed
Version: 1.37~dfsg-1
Severity: normal
My brightness keys were "jumping" the brightnes on my MacBook v1.1,
e.g. increasing the brightness from 0% using function key would cycle like so:
0%-25%-50%-0%-75%-100%-0%-100%.
Turns out the step value for the MacBook v1.1 (Intel Gma950) is a bit too
big. /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/mbp_backlight/max_brightness is 15. When
I've changed the step value from the hexadecimal value to "1" I got back the
smooth/gradual brightness increase/decrease via function key.
Below is the relevant section of the modified pommed config file.
And it turns out I don't need pommed anymore, since "it just works" without it
now.
Thank you for working on this package it was a pleasure to have working function
keys all this time.
Regards,
Dmitrijs.

The max value for GMA GPUs is known to vary depending on the
model. Hopefully the need for this specific access method will vanish
soon...
Thanks for the report, though.
JB.
