I've installed nvclock and issuing nvclock -S xx where x is a number between 15 and 100, I CAN set the brightness of the display. Although not a complete soilution, at least I can manually set the brightness to the desired level. MIND: I've not disabled ACPI, nor I have set any parameters to grub. It just works as desired. I should add that Vista, also installed on my Q320, works fine with the brightness.

How about getting someone with more knowledge on Linux internals to triage the bug? It is taking way too long to have a bug of high importance even to have its importance status set. Sadly, I don't even know which package/project is also affected by the bug. Is anyone able to answer is this bug 100% percent related to the $PLEASE_INSERT_YOURSELF (kernel, xserver, etc.) package? Should kernel or xserver maintainers also be pinged about it in order to get more attention to this to get it going before Karmic is out? Especially, keep in mind that HAL is going to be deprecated in Karmic (that's why someone has to reassign the bug to other package(s)). -- brightness hardware control on Samsung R510 doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/297962 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
[Bug 297962] Re: brightness hardware control on Samsung R510 doesn't work
Maybe someone can get this fixed for the upcoming Karmic?
It seems that the problem is related to the keys not sending events.
Quoting the above mentioned link:
After a while I discovered the problem was that some of the fn-keys
weren’t sending key release events (easy to see in xev or with lshal
-m). Turns out this is a problem with lots of laptop keyboards: look at
the thousands of lines of hacks in drivers/input/keyboard/atkbd.c in the
Linux kernel source. The good news is that this is easy to fix: the Q320
uses exactly the same scancodes as an earlier Samsung laptop. The bad
news is that you have to compile your own kernel. Ho hum.
Apply this patch to a 2.6.30 kernel and rebuild. Voila! And the problem
is gone!

I found the DMI_PRODUCT_NAME using dmidecode if you were wondering.
This patch needs hardcoding, if I understand correctly. For example, in this
case it requires to set Q320/P320 in the patch. I don't want to compile my
own kernel so I'm unable to test if this works actually, however, I do have
Samsung R522 and it's eveident from the output of xev or with lshal -m that
at least Fn+Up/Down (brightness up/down) and Fn+F5 (brightness on/off) keys do
not send any events on my laptop too. Is there any way to fix this on Samsung
laptops in general, without harcoding each model in the kernel?
Besides, as my quote seems to be contain a patch for the linux kernel,
it might be wise to assign this one to the kernel package.

[Bug 297962] Re: brightness hardware control on Samsung R510 doesn't work
I have the same issues with backlight and I would like to stress that this issue is not specific to nVidia adapters, but also Intel. Following the instructions in this bug, I've managed to make backlight brightness adjustable via Fn-Up/Fn-Down combination and via brightness applet, but Fn-F5 (toggle backlight) and Fn-F9 (toggle wireless) still does not work. Apart from that, the sticky Fn key problem is solved only partially and sometimes it still sticks. The sensitivity of Fn-Up and Fn-Down (brightness) is twice lower as the sensitivity of Fn-Left and Fn-Right (volume) which is also not very convenient. Other keys like Fn-F5 (toggle backlight) and Fn-F9 (toggle wireless) still doesn't work, but now they are not reported in /var/log/kern.log Unfortunately, non of the described solutions helped to accomplish this on it's own, so I had to use the combination of them: added setkeycodes to bootmisc.sh, patched the kernel with above patch and added acpi_backlight=vendor to kernel params. I didn't find anything particulary interesting in my logs, but I can provide them upon request.

[Bug 297962] Re: brightness hardware control on Samsung R510 doesn't work
Hi all! I recently bought a R510 laptop, installed jaunty onto, and encoutered the same problem... I had it finally working, perhaps not the properly way, but working... Here's how I did: at boot time, I add to attach keycodes to the brightness keys (adding fdi definitions in hal does not seem to work): . /usr/share/acpi-support/key-constants setkeycodes e009 $KEY_BRIGHTNESSDOWN setkeycodes e008 $KEY_BRIGHTNESSUP (tu put in bootmisc.sh or another script in /etc/init.d you then add to the runlevel scripts) Then there is another problem, the same encoutered here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal-info/+bug/295251 : the key release event is not sent... So I patched the kernel, using same code as here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-jaunty.git;a=commit;h=b6edef2ac7b84ba90192ec1b8947949ebc99e99c , but I put DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, R510/P510) instead of DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, SQ45S70S) I recompiled the kernel (using http://blog.avirtualhome.com/2009/04/29 /how-to-compile-a-kernel-for-ubuntu-jaunty/) After that, the key works, but brightness does no adjust, it seeems there is a bug/missing feature in the nvidia driver. After some googling, I tried smartdimmer (using nvclock should also work), and that one works. I wrote a little script (brightness.sh, see attachment), and then binded the brightness down/up keys to that script, using the gnome key-binding utility. I currently do not have other key working yet (wifi on/off, backlight...), I will try to have them working and keep you informed. cheers, -manu ** Attachment added: brightness.sh http://launchpadlibrarian.net/27271257/brightness.sh -- brightness hardware control on Samsung R510 doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/297962 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
[Bug 297962] Re: brightness hardware control on Samsung R510 doesn't work
OK, I'm not so sure if this is a driver fault anymore. I've found a way to somewhat fix it using extra boot parameter - acpi_backlight=vendor. Now I can control the brightness using fn keys or the applet. The only glitch is that when I unplug the power, the screen goes completely dark. I have to press increase backlight key several times, switch to console and back to get the visuals. Same switching trick helps when the keyboard gets locked on the first use of backlight fn keys. Now I can see that it's because of some kind of loop. When I press the key the brightness goes up/down until it reaches the end of scale, despite the fact that I pressed the key only once. After the switching trick, it starts working as expected, that is brightness goes up/down just by a little bit and the keyboard is not getting locked anymore. -- brightness hardware control on Samsung R510 doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/297962 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
