Title:
[Dell Latitude E6440] Unable to adjust brightness on Precise
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
CID: 201306-13688 Dell Latitude E6440
Backlight control does not work on Precise (3.2.0-56):
1. Hotkey event was not detected.
2. No scroll bar in brightness applet.
3. No entries in /sys/class/backlight.
Steps:
1. Install 12.04.1 + update
2. Try to adjust the brightness by hotkeys
3. Try to adjust the brightness by the brightness applet
Expected result:
Brightness could be adjusted.
Actual result:
Hotkeys are not responding, no scroll bar in brightness applet.
Debugging information:
$ ls /sys/class/backlight > backlight
(Nothing)
$ dmesg | grep 'ACPI: Video'
(Nothing)
$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 3.2.0-56-generic (buildd@roseapple) (gcc version 4.6.3
(Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) ) #86-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 23 09:20:45 UTC 2013
Boot with "acpi_backlight=vendor" kernel parameter
The hotkey could change the indicator level, and the scroll bar would appear
in brightness applet.
However, the brightness still cannot be altered.
$ ls /sys/class/backlight/
dell_backlight
Boot with "video.use_bios_initial_backlight=0" kernel parameter
It behaves like without adding any other parameter.
