The SIGSEGV is being tracked in bug #1039916 Nvidia driver causing
SIGSEGV in nvclock and smartdimmer.
That bug affects the Fix released status of this bug since this work-
around no longer functions. I've nominated this bug for Precise and
Quantal, but any fix of the SIGSEGV issue will be done
I'll better explain my troubles.
When I try to use nvclock (eg I launch sudo nvclock -S 50) i get a
Segmentation fault.
I'm sure this problem came out after the updates to my nvidia graphic card
drivers, that I did (through update manager) on 2012-04-12.
I've tried even drivers #173, but it
After latest updates to nvidia driver, the backlight control isn't working.
I was using the modified nvclock (procedure suggested for this bug).
Does anyone have the same troubles?

This seems to be an nvclock issue rather than -nvidia. Even if it was

Yes, any information from hal-device can be the solution for detect the

Geforce8/9/quadro cards are the same. Further the thing you just
showed is a basic pci id check. For that again a list of capable cards
is needed. For the record there are dozens of different mobile
geforce8/9/quadro cards.

So are you saying that
What about older Geforce cards (6 and 7)?. They also are controlled by
smartdimmer, so once the patch has been applied to HAL, these cards have
to be included in the list as well.

For geforce6/7 cards the detection in nvclock is quite good and it can
be relied on.

We explicitly need a list right now of the device id of the card and
the subvendor id. Further some studying of the gpu bios needs to be
done for geforce8/9 models which are supported by nvclock and types
which aren't. I need several bioses of both models for that. Though I
can't say when
Thunderbird is possible do a little script that generate a .txt file
with the info that you think that can be useful? This can be a easy way
for people report this to here.
If you can explain more accurately what we can do for do your idea, I

Only the following three lines are needed:
Device ID: pci.product_id = 1062 (0x426) (int) = Geforce 8400M
Vendor ID: pci.vendor_id = 4318 (0x10de) (int) = Nvidia
Subsys Vendor ID: pci.subsys_vendor_id = 4173 (0x104d) (int) = Sony

Further I'd like some additional info. Could you some people try to
run nvclock -D BEFORE the nvidia kernel module and X are loaded, so
directly after logging into a VT? I'm interested in the line which
contains 'NV_PDISPLAY_SOR0_REGS_BRIGHTNESS'. If it contains the proper
value then it
