Status in “gnome-power-manager” source package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager Many of the recent Apple MacBooks have a large number of LCD backlight levels. The GPM uses XRandR to modify the backlight. However, the gpm-brightness-xrandr smooth brightness function does not take the number of brightness levels into account. On recent Macbooks, this leads to some 20000 brightness-set calls on startup, an activity that takes about one and a half minute. During this time, GPM is not responsive. Attached is a patch that introduces scaled stepping, which fixes the problem. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
