[Bug 105568] Re: MSI laptop: brightness not controllable with Brightness applet
This is not an open issue anymore. On MSI laptops, loading the msi- laptop module makes the applet work. ** Changed in: hal (Ubuntu) Assignee: Martin Pitt = dimitri Status: In Progress = Fix Released -- MSI laptop: brightness not controllable with Brightness applet https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/105568 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The slider works in Edgy Tribe 4; after loading the msi-laptop module with parameter force=1. Putting this in /etc/modules makes it permanent. -- MSI laptop: brightness not controllable with Brightness applet https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/105568 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 105568] Re: MSI laptop: brightness not controllable with Brightness applet
I have installed HAL 0.5.9 on my MSI S260 laptop and I also have msi- laptop module with force=1 loaded. It is true that now there is a LCD brightness slider in Gnome power manager applet but it still doesn't have any effect on the actual brightness settings. The only way for me to adjust brightness is with echo nb between 0 and 8 /sys/devices/platform/msi-laptop-pf/lcd_level -- MSI laptop: brightness not controllable with Brightness applet https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/105568 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

...and the brightness applet still doesn't work for me. My HAL version is 0.5.9-1ubuntu2~feisty (latest HAL update from Ubuntu repos). Does this problem only apply to those who need to use the force=1 option to load msi-laptop module??? -- MSI laptop: brightness not controllable with Brightness applet https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/105568 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 105568] Re: MSI laptop: brightness not controllable with Brightness applet
On my S420, with HAL from feisty backports this slider is functional now (slow, but it works). Do you load the module manually? I noticed it only works with the slider by adding to /etc/modules the line msi-laptop force=1 and rebooting. Please try this and get back to me. You can also check and complete http://megawiki.org/ and join the mailing list to share your experiences with this module, so it can be improved. -- MSI laptop: brightness not controllable with Brightness applet https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/105568 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Great, since Gutsy will get hal 0.5.9 very early, this will be fixed in Gutsy. ** Changed in: hal (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed = In Progress ** Changed in: hal (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = Martin Pitt -- MSI laptop: brightness not controllable with Brightness applet https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/105568 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 105568] Re: MSI laptop: brightness not controllable with Brightness applet
According to the creator of the msi-laptop driver this is due to the fact that ubuntu does not include the newer hal version 0.5.9. Brightness control works with the Fedora 7 live cd which does run this version of hal, so this is confirmed. -- MSI laptop: brightness not controllable with Brightness applet https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/105568 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
