Originally my T61 BIOS was set to have a dimmer backlight when on battery power, and not even xbacklight 100% could bring it back up to full brightness. I changed the BIOS, and now have full brightness on battery.
Except when I run mplayer. It seems that if I run mplayer on battery, my backlight brightness drops and stays down, and when I next run mplayer on AC, I get the full brightness back. This probably relates to the xv acceleration, somehow. -- mplayer brightness reduces on playback https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/201544 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
