You have been subscribed to a public bug: Whatever the Macbook Pro is running on AC power or on battery, gutsy always sets the screen backlight to a very low level after some inactivity time (watching a video for instance). Manually setting the backlight value to a correct one just fixes the issue until it is decreased again by the system.
Seems to occur on Macbook Pro 1G and 2G: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3985139#post3985139 In my case, I'm running Gutsy Ubuntu + ATI fglrx 8.43 (november 2007). The problems occurs with and without compiz fusion effects. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Low Status: Incomplete -- Screen backlight is wrong controlled on Macbook Pro (1G, 2G, 3G - Intrepid) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/177654 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
