Yes. the max could be 0x1ffff. Here's the info you asked for: $ cat /sys/class/dmi/id/sys_vendor Sony Corporation $ cat /sys/class/dmi/id/product_name VPCCW21FX
P.S. I've pretty much got things working: I switched back to nvidia_bl-0.52 and used mix = 4096, max= 131071. The steps act weird and (according to gnome) it seems to jump the steps, but at least I can turn the screen a bit darker. -- nvidia-bl-dkms 0.16.10 Blank screen on brightness change https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/599607 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mactel Support, which is the registrant for Mactel Support. Status in Mactel Support: New Bug description: I have a Sony Vaio VPCCW21FX (Nvidia 310M) running Lucid. After I installed nvidia-bl-dkms 0.16.10, the brightness buttons showed the brightness indicator but it didn't move. Manually writing values to /sys/class/backlight/nvidia_backlight/brightness turn the backlight completely off (the backlight only turned back on after a suspend/resume). Then I copied sony brightness scripts from here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1420341 ... after that, using the brightness buttons on the laptop turned the screen off as well. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
