This meant that the brightness control would not work on some computers with multiple GPUs. Test Case --------- From Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 on a dual-GPU computer, install the update. Restart. Does the brightness control now work correctly? Regression Potential -------------------- This looks like a minimal fix for this issue. It was accepted as part of gnome-settings-daemon 3.24.2 which all GNOME 3.24 distros will be upgrading to. Original Bug Report ------------------- The Dell E6430 with Nvidia Optimus enables in BIOS, using the Open Source Nouveau driver shows the brightness slider moving but does not affect the brightness. When using the kernel boot option acpi_backlight=vendor , the brightness control works.
