Hi everyone,
a problem I remember as always being present in Ubuntu is the one
described in the bug report below, regarding screen dimming/brightening
when the laptop enters/leaves battery power mode.
Does anyone mind reading the bug report and add a comment if either you
can reproduce the problem or not?
The report is at:
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/41202/
Cheers,
Celso

So we've got a beta version out there, and it's a fairly short time
until the final release. A lot of laptop support code has gone into
recent updates, so it would be really good if people could test things
thoroughly and let us hammer out the last few bugs.
Good things to test:
1) Does suspend/resume to disk work? To RAM? Espresso will currently
fail to write a resume file, so if you install via that please do
echo RESUME=/dev/whatever | sudo tee /etc/mkinitramfs/conf.d/resume
replacing /dev/whatever with the name of your swap partition. You'll
then need to do
sudo update-initramfs
and reboot.
2) Does X get configured correctly? We've had various machines which
ended up running the vesa driver instead of the accelerated one, so
please do check that.
3) SD slots are more likely to work now - if you do
lspci | grep 0805:
and get anything back, there's a good chance that it'll work. Testing
that would be helpful. Memory stick, XD and other formats won't work,
but sd and mmc ought to. Other devices probably still aren't supported,
I'm afraid.
There should be a kernel update in the next few days that will fix up
some more bugs, especially suspend/resume related to sata and bluetooth.
Please do update to the very latest packages to check whether bugs have
been fixed before reporting them, but also feel free to report anything
you think may be a bug.
Good luck!
