Vyas, you can check if you have the dcdbas kernel module loaded by issuing: 'sudo lsmod | grep dcdbas' in a terminal without the ticks.

Amit, please look at the URL in comment #44 and see about pulling this patch into our 2.6.24 tree. For others, please note that this will likely not be accepted for gutsy. It's a simple fix, but it's also a simple workaround (add dcdbas to /etc/modules). I would rather not take the change that loading this module for all Dell's would cause some unforseen bugs.

I just tested Hardy Alpha 1 on my Dell Inspiron 510m. The slider now appears in GPM, but the settings on the slider do not actually affect the brightness level. On a related note, the brightness icon that appears on the screen when one uses the hotkeys no longer shows the correct brightness. Instead, it always shows an empty slider. When the plug is removed or inserted, the slider displays a value, but it is not correct.

* Redo the bzr branch of this package as clean fork from the Debian svn
(https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/hal/debian, thanks bzr-svn!)
and commit the remaining relevant Ubuntu patches to it:
https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/hal/ubuntu
* Merge with Debian unstable; remaining Ubuntu changes:
- Ubuntu udev world order:
+ debian/hal.links: Remove rules symlink, we install the rules file
directly into rules/.
+ debian/rules: Install udev rules into /etc/udev/rules.d/.
+ debian/hal.{preinst,postinst,postrm}: Transition code for changing the
udev rule priority (see 0.5.8.1-3ubuntu7, needs to be kept until after
next LTS).
- debian/rules: Enable MacBook (Pro) support on i386 and amd64. Add
pciutils-dev build dependency.
- debian/hal.init: Remove stray gparted-disable-automount.fdi on startup.
(LP #134712)
- debian/rules: Do not run stop init.d script for levels 1 and 6
(TearDown).
- debian/preferences.fdi: Disable automounting for fixed disks. On session
startup it is not done anyway (since that disables the gnome-mount UI
which would ask for authentication) and it leads to confusion when
restarting hal while a session is running. (LP #138537)
- 80_allow_vfat_usefree.patch: Allow vfat mount option usefree.
(LP #133567)
- 81_ignore_single_slash_label.patch: Ignore labels which only consist of a
slash, so that they do not end up as /media/-. An earlier Ubuntu
d-i/ubiquity created those labels by default. (LP #83323)
- 82_ignore_fixed_nonmedia.patch: Ignore fixed partitions which mounted,
but not below /media/.
- 83_ssb_bus_support.patch: Add support for devices on the SSB bus; patch
by Matthew Garrett (not applied upstream yet, this needs to update the
spec, too).
- 84_memstick_bus_support.patch: Add support for devices on the memstick
bus; patch by Matthew Garrett (not reported upstream yet, this needs to
update the spec, too).
- 85_read_brightness_not_actual_brightness.patch: Read the brightness from
/sys/class/backlight/foo/brightness, not actual_brightness. It makes more
sense to change based on the brightness that we wanted to set, not the
brightness that we actually set. Patch by Matthew Garrett. Forwarded to
FD#12891.
* Now build with libsmbios to get Dell backlight support. (LP: #43572)
* Dropped the following Ubuntu changes:
- hwdb icons and patches, python-launchpad-integration, .desktop file
translation fixes: hal-device-manager is gone, will be replaced by
indepentent gnome-device-manager project.
- symlinking of doc directories in debian/rules: current cdbs does that
automatically now.
- 02_powerscripts.patch, 90_pmi.patch: pm-utils is the only supported
backend now.
- 26-addon-acpi-fix-free-before-init.diff,
63_my_dbus_is_full_of_uints.patch, 69_set_dmi_before_matching.patch,
macbook-backlight.diff: Applied upstream.
- 56_probe_fstab.patch and the disabling of mounting for unmounted
partitions which are 'auto' in fstab: The patch does not fit into hal's
design to always show current information, was rejected upstream,
only handles a corner case, and we do not automount fixed drives anyway.
* Add 86_allow_ufs_ufstype.patch: Allow ufs mount option 'ufstype', thanks
to Georges Discry. (LP: #110865, FD#10998)
hal (0.5.10-1) unstable; urgency=low

* New upstream release.
- Ships the x11-input.fdi file which is required for the xorg input
hotplugging (Closes: #446851).
- Correctly initializes the dbus error struct in the acpi addon
(Closes: #438802).
hal-device-manager has been removed from the upstream tarball. There is
now a separate project called gnome-device-manager which is intended to
replace hal-device-manager.
* Remove obsolete files
- debian/hal-device-manager.1
- debian/hal-device-manager.desktop
- debian/hal-device-manager.install
- debian/hal-device-manager.manpages
- debian/patches/62_dbus-python-0.80.patch

- Remove binary package hal-device-manager.
- Replace Suggests: hal-device-manager with gnome-device-manager.
- Use the new Homepage: field to specify the upstream URL.
- Add a Build-Depends: gperf. This utility is required for building the
hal-setup-keymap binary that is necessary for the multimedia key

- Add a Recommends: libsmbios-bin [i386 amd64]. The libsmbios-bin

Roberto, On my Dell D600, I could also use the Fn Keys to increase and decrease the brightness, and the brightness applet was not working before too. After I have performed the instructions, when I use those keys, it is behaving as before (from an end user point of view). I mean, if I press once on decrease, it decrease them once. Also, the modification are easily undone.

[Bug 43572] Re: Dell Laptops don't talk to HAL about brightness correctly
The HAL release, which includes the fix, is in the Gutsy Gibbon repository and has been back-ported to Feisty. However, even though the source code, which corresponds to the Ubuntu 7.04 back-ported package (0.5.9-1ubuntu2~feisty1, see http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty-backports/source/hal), includes the Dell LCD brightness update, the LCD brightness dim on idle does not work after updating. In other words, the HAL addon + the FDI (hal-info) files for the Dell LCD brightness are missing from the Ubuntu deb binary packages that have been back-ported. However, the Ubuntu source code for the package clearly shows that the addon and FDI file are both present. I cannot state anything for Gutsy Gibbon. Does anyone knows why hasn't it been included in the binary package? I wanted to compile the source code available (http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty-backports/source/hal), so I decompressed the file and I applied the Feisty patch. Now, I do not know if there are some special flags or third party libraries that are necessary to compile. Can anyone point me at the commands required to compile HAL for Feisty (if different than just ./configure make)? Also, once compiled, is there a way that I can create a DEB package? Maybe there is some documentation out there.

[Bug 43572] Re: Dell Laptops don't talk to HAL about brightness correctly
Huygens, Bug #92194 describes the issue at hand. Basically the build machine probably didn't have libsmbios installed and thus did not the dell addon got built. You can easily rebuild the module by first typing apt-get source hal in an empty directory. Enter the hal directory and issue sudo dpkg-buildpackage to properly build the hal .deb packages. Make sure you have installed the libsmbios library first. The last thing you need for success is to manually modprobe the dcdbas kernel module as it isn't autodetected. -- Dell Laptops don't talk to HAL about brightness correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/43572 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 43572] Re: Dell Laptops don't talk to HAL about brightness correctly
Sorry, I lied, you need the 0.13.4 version of the libsmbios library, shipped with feisty is only 0.12.1. So you basically need to wait until Gutsy is released :(.

Thank you Erik. I have tried in parallel to compile the source package that I had manually downloaded (including the patch). Roughly, here (http://www.berthon.eu/wiki/foss:ubuntu:wikishelf:hal:feisty) is an history of what I executed. After rebooting, I issued the modprobe command to load the dcdbas module and added the LCD brightness applet. It did not work (I guess this is due to the problem you mentioned about the libsmbios version). It reset my brightness to the minimum and I could not changed it after. Also the applet does not show the current brightness level and is not able to raise or lower it. I will wait for libsmbios to be backported from Gutsy.
