Package: acpi Version: 1.5-2 Severity: important Tags: squeeze sid Symptoms: Using the keyboard function keys to increase or decrease brightness causes the entire system to hang Need to do a hard restart Restarting the system causes the laptop monitor brightness to increase to maximum Gnome-power-manager not effective in this case. Thought that this was a conflict between different power management packages but not sure about how to verify
Workaround: Before logging in, switch to ctrl-alt-F1 Reduce brightness. Switch back to ctrl-alt-F7 -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers proposed-updates APT policy: (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IN, LC_CTYPE=en_IN (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages acpi depends on: ii libc6 2.11.2-2 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib acpi recommends no packages. acpi suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
