It looks like it has been solved in Hardy: when acpi video module is loaded, I can change brightness using hotkeys even if g-p-m is not loaded. -- acpi video module prevents brightness adjusting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/74284 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

Hi Juan, It unfortunately looks like this didn't get resolved for the Hardy release. Care to just confirm this is still an issue with the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release? More information regarding the latest Alpha release for Intrepid can be found here - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . You should be able to test via a LiveCD. Please let us know your results.

[Bug 74284] Re: acpi video module prevents brightness adjusting
Oops, sorry for my late reply. I'm running an up-to-date Hardy clean install, and I'm still experiencing this bug. That is, after the video module is loaded, I can't change brightness with Fn keys without gnome-power-manager (but my Dell laptop do this by hardware!). Also, with the video module loaded, I'm experiencing bug #207473. You can see my lshal and lshal -m output at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal/+bug/207473/comments/19. However, by not loading the video module (blacklisted), I can change brightness when g-p-m is not loaded, and when g-p-m is loaded I don't experience bug #207473.

Hardy Heron Alpha2 was recently released. It contains an updated version of the kernel. You can download and try the new Hardy Heron Alpha2 release from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/hardy/alpha-2/ . You should be able to then test the new kernel via the LiveCD.

[Bug 74284] Re: acpi video module prevents brightness adjusting
Nadav, it's working for you because gnome-power-manager is changing your brightness. If you sudo killall gnome-power-manager, then you'll not be able to change brightness using hotkeys. However, if you blacklist the acpi module, you'll be able to change brightness using hotkeys even after you kill gnome-power-manager (because Dell laptops don't need any software to do it). -- acpi video module prevents brightness adjusting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/74284 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi Juan, Thanks for your update. I'm retargeting this bug towards the upcoming Hardy kernel. I've tagged this as hardy-kernel-candidate so that we make sure to retarget this report once the new release is out. However against the linux-source-2.6.22 package this is being marked as Won't Fix as it does not meet the criteria for a stable release update. To learn more about the stable release update process please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates .

[Bug 74284] Re: acpi video module prevents brightness adjusting
It's still reproducible. That is, I can't adjust brightness using hotkeys after acpi video module is loaded (assuming gnome-power-manager is not currently loaded). Blacklisting the video module is still a valid workaround. It has also been reported as bug #140782, but it has been incorrectly assigned to kde. Comment https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase/+bug/140782/comments/20 has another valid workaround. ** Changed in: linux-source-2.6.22 (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Confirmed -- acpi video module prevents brightness adjusting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/74284 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi Juan, now that the 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon release of Ubuntu is out, we were wondering if you can still reproduce this issue as well. Could you please download and try the new version of Ubuntu from http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download and report back your results. If the issue is still present in the new release, does blacklisting the module still work as a valid workaround?

My BIOS is up to date. The problem is that the function acpi_video_get_next_level in video.c is not implemented in version 2.6.17 (reference: http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/11/24/131). I think the function has been implemented in version 2.6.19 (reference: http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.19-rc6/2.6.19-rc6-mm2 /patch-list). -- acpi video module prevents brightness adjusting https://launchpad.net/bugs/74284 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Check to make sure your BIOS is up-to-date.
