[Desktop-packages] [Bug 873808] Re: brightness applet needs to support nvidia_backlight
what about opening a bug upstream as suggested before? Not sure there is
an order, the code just iterate through the interface until finding one
supposed to work

Title:
brightness applet needs to support nvidia_backlight
Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
There is a popular third-party backlight driver for Nvidia GPUs that
are not supported by the manufacturers backlight driver, known as
nvidiabl (or nvidia_backlight). See
https://github.com/guillaumezin/nvidiabl for more information. This is
not the same driver as nv_backlight.
In order for this driver to be recognized by the brightness applet,
nvidia_backlight needs to be added to the top of the vendor array in
gsd-backlight-helper so that it looks like this:
/* available kernel interfaces in priority order */
static const gchar *backlight_interfaces[] = {
nvidia_backlight,
nv_backlight,
asus_laptop,
toshiba,
eeepc,
thinkpad_screen,
acpi_video1,
mbp_backlight,
acpi_video0,
fujitsu-laptop,
sony,
samsung,
NULL,
};
nvidia_backlight needs to be placed at the top of the list because the
non-functioning vendor module (sony, in my case) is still present in
/sys/class/backlight, so nvidia_backlight needs to be recognized
before sony.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 873808] Re: brightness applet needs to support nvidia_backlight
I've installed the latest version of gnome-settings-daemon in precise,
and the new gsd-backlight-helper still prefers the malfunctioning sony
backlight driver to the working nvidia_backlight driver. How does it
determine which driver is the best?

the issue is fixed in the current precise version, rather than using an
hardcoded list the new code is using udev to query the backlight
interfaces

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it
would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers
of the software by following the instructions at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please
tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a
bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.
