Thanks to Danny Kukawka, this bug is fixed in hal 0.5.9, see http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=hal.git;a=commit;h=f92db4967e050bbecd5775802fb6ffb7c963958b wich I guess will be shipped with gutsy.

[Bug 44962] Re: Laptop dims on startup even on AC
Hi, I am the new de-facto maintainer of the omnibook kernel module I confirm that the number of brightness levels can the 8 or 11 depending on the laptop model. Old (before august 2006) versions of the module always assumed it was 11. This issue is fixed in svn as max level is: -printed in /proc/omnibook/lcd (ex: 'LCD brightness: 5 (max value: 7)' ) -exported to the backlight class device interface for access via sysfs HAL needs either to use the sysfs interface or to take into account the max level exported in the /proc file. However due to lack of hardware documentation I still need to know what is the actual max brightness level for each supported laptop models. Anybody who hit this bug should contact me so I can update the hardware database of the module.

It is not true that omnibook have 11 brightness level and not 8, it can be both. The released patch broke hal for those who have 8 brightness levels. ** Changed in: hal (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released = Confirmed -- Laptop dims on startup even on AC https://launchpad.net/bugs/44962 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Patch 28-fix-omnibook-brightness-levels.patch: Omnibooks have 11 brightness levels, not 8. broke my hal, see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=392022. It is not true that omnibook have 11 brightness level and not 8, it can be both. Omnibook module, if compiled with kernel = 2.6.19 correctly creates [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls /sys/class/backlight/omnibook/ actual_brightness brightness max_brightness power subsystem uevent this will be used by hal (I guess beyond version 0.5.9) to get max_brightness of the device, the portion of code that the patch modified will be dropped (see http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/hal/2006-October/006317.html) In my opinion, you can skip that patch, thanks for all your work, I hope this helped.

hove99, can you please do a 'cat /proc/omnibook/lcd' and post the result here? It seems that this fix, broke my hal! I believe we use the same module (omnibook) but have different hardware.

cat: /proc/omnibook/lcd: No such file or directory Does the brightness slider work? can you do a 'lshal | grep laptop_panel' and post the result?

hal describes the omnibook as having 8 brightness levels, though it sounds like there should be 10 or 11. ** Changed in: gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: gnome-power-manager = hal -- Laptop dims on startup even on AC https://launchpad.net/bugs/44962 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

That sounds very plausible, can I change this manually? Or will you include this in an update? -- Laptop dims on startup even on AC https://launchpad.net/bugs/44962 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

It needs source-code modification, I'm afraid.
