As I said it is very likely that the files on your computer and mine aren't at the same place, but are you using an Ubuntu distribution, because it doesn't seem so, i just check the differents files in the x86 packages, and they should work.
1- So firstly we need to fix your hal, then reinstall the differents files : sudo apt-get reinstall hal-info hal smartdimmer 2- we need to verify if different files exists # for the FN-Keys ls -l /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/30-keymap-module-sony-laptop.fdi # my modification on the method which should be used to change backlight (sony-nvidia) ls -l /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-sony-laptop-panel-mgmt-policy.fdi # for the scripts to change backlight (set and get them) ls -l /usr/lib/hal/scripts/linux/hal-system-lcd-get-brightness-linux ls -l /usr/lib/hal/scripts/linux/hal-system-lcd-set-brightness-linux 3- backup the scripts files and replace them with the ones that i gave you (attached with this post ): #backup cd /usr/lib/hal/scripts/linux/ sudo mv hal-system-lcd-get-brightness-linux hal-system-lcd-get-brightness-linux.back sudo mv hal-system-lcd-set-brightness-linux hal-system-lcd-set-brightness-linux.back #replace with the new ones tar xvf a.tar sudo cp hal-system-lcd-get-brightness-linux /usr/lib/hal/scripts/linux/hal-system-lcd-get-brightness-linux sudo cp hal-system-lcd-set-brightness-linux /usr/lib/hal/scripts/linux/hal-system-lcd-set-brightness-linux #make sure that they can be executed sudo chmod +x /usr/lib/hal/scripts/linux/hal-system-lcd-set-brightness-linux /usr/lib/hal/scripts/linux/hal-system-lcd-get-brightness-linux 4- reboot your computer I hope it works after this...If you are using a different distribution than Ubuntu or another version than hardy please inform me to check what is different. PS : I tested nvclock instead of smartdimmer but it doesn't work because cannot use nvclock within an hal script ( it returns errors ). ** Attachment added: "scripts hal for backlight (set and get)" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18542705/a.tar -- sony brighness on a geforce series older than 8 (nvclock works fine) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/277589 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
