Hello freebsd-acpi@,

I have lenovo ThinkPad Edge E145 laptop and the LCD brightness control
stopped working somewhere between 10.2-RELEASE and 10.2-RELEASE-p6.

I used to adjust the brightness using Fn-☼- and Fn-☼+ buttons and it
always worked (during boot, in X, text console).  Now, it works only
in the loader, before the system boots.

I tried alternative methods listed below, but non had any effect.

Please help! ;)

Thank you in advance,
Stefan


** acpi_call

acpi_call -v -p '\VBRU'

Path: \VBRU
Number of arguments: 0
ioctl: Device not configured

no effect

Is the acpi_call kernel module loaded?

** acpi_ibm

sysctl dev.acpi_ibm.0.lcd_brightness=7

values change, but no effect


** acpi_video

sysctl hw.acpi.video.lcd0.brightness=50
hw.acpi.video.lcd0.brightness: 50 -> #

no effect


pressing Fn+(sun)+- buttons has no effect, but logs:

can't evaluate \134_SB_.PCI0.VGA_.LCD_._BQC - AE_NOT_FOUND
If the buttons generate events for devd you can execute whatever commands work for you. `cat /var/run/devd.pipe` logs all events consumed by devd from /dev/devctl. If the acpi_ibm module generates events for the function keys the output of said command will log them. The key-value pairs contain all the information needed to write matching event handlers in devd.conf.

Did you try xbacklight? The changes between 10.2-RELEASE and 10.2-RELEASE-p6 shouldn't break your backligh controls. However lots of ports changed in that timeframe and maybe one of those changes e.g. a X.org driver update caused your problem.
