[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1683445] Re: E6430 brightness control not working
Hi, Glad that it helps :). I am not sure if the interface actually doesn't work, because it might if the Optimus mode would switch to use the Nvidia card dedicatedly, but since that is not supported by the nouveau driver, it might not happen. Not sure what happened to the Bumblebee projects and the likes and if it would affect this. As long as an existing interface that is selected will always work, it could be omitted indeed.

Okay, didn't know the "enabled" part. Originally I was thinking get the value from vgaswitheroo - but "enabled" here will do.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1683445] Re: E6430 brightness control not working
Hi, Thanks for your feedback. I had a chat with somebody with some experience and he suggested it should be fixed in userspace, here: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-settings-daemon/tree/plugins/power/gsd-backlight-linux.c This is what he suggests (if the above is indeed what Ubuntu uses, because it is meant for Fedora): In the gsd_backlight_helper_get_best_backlight helper. It only looks at the type of backlight and not at the connection between the backlight interface and the connector. An option is, if the gsd_backlight_helper_get_type (devices, "firmware") and gsd_backlight_helper_get_type (devices, "platform") calls both are unsuccessful, then instead of using gsd_backlight_helper_get_type which simply returns the first matching one of the found backlights of type raw, do the following: Take $PATH as the variable to /sys/class/backlight/foo dir and check the content of $PATH/../enabled, it has to be "enabled", that way you can find out which backlight interface is connected to an LVDS interface that actually has a connected LCD. If no interface is found with: `cat $PATH/../enabled` == "enabled" then as a fallback, still return the first found interface. I tried to implement this, but just getting the development environment setup to develop and test took me so much time that I haven't gotten to it. Perhaps the above is easy to implement for someone with the proper setup. Please keep us informed, if I make progress I will post too (but that might take a while). cheers -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1683445 Title: E6430 brightness control not working Status in Linux: Confirmed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The Dell E6430 with Nvidia Optimus enables in BIOS, using the Open Source Nouveau driver shows the brightness slider moving but does not affect the brightness.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1683445] Re: E6430 brightness control not working
nvidia_backlight.c thinks the graphics chip is connected to LVDS, hence create a backlight interface, 'nv_backlight'. This can be somehow 'workaround' in userspace tool, but I think it's not the best way to do it - the backlight interface shouldn't be there if it's not working at all.
