Thanks for your insight, I can't control my backlight either (never could). Afaik it's because this function is hard wired and not controllable by software on my laptop. But if you say, that it worked for you before, than this is something different.

Check if you hav e a class backlight device in /sys (iotw something under /sys/class/backlight). If so you should be able to control the backlight via hal. You can test the kernel by echoing values into the brightness file Sjoerd -- You can't push on a string. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#506644: gnome-power-manager: Brightness applet does not change brightness
Package: gnome-power-manager Version: 2.22.1-4 Severity: normal Dear GNOME team, Since an update of my Lenny system, the brightness applet does not manage to set the brightness anymore. Althouhg not 100 % sure, I have the impression that it happened before the update to the version that migrated to testing recently. I attached to this bug a digest of the updates made yesterday and today. My machine is a Sony VGC-LT71DB, a kind of iMac clone that has the bad idea of overheating when the brighness of the screen is at its default (and highest) level… Ah, I have `deb http://kde4.debian.net/ lenny main' in my sources.list. I hope it is not the cause of the problem!
