Laptop - Sony VAIO VGN-SZ71E Ubuntu - 8.10 updated up to 4th Nov 2008. On Stamina mode, so using Intel graphics, which is Intel
I confirm that in order to get dimming working all I need to do is to run this command: xrandr --output LVDS --set BACKLIGHT_CONTROL native And I do not need xbacklight, nor need to restart acpi. Just run the above command, the screen then blank out for half a second and back, and then I am able to use the Fn-F5/F6 to increase/decrease brightness on my Sony (finally...was going blind from the brightness, which is very extreme on a week-old laptop) I've not attempted nvidia on Speed yet so will read the other bug report (it's not exactly needed...until I start putting on games that is :D) -- Unable to adjust screen brightness on recent Sony Vaio notebooks, Intel GMA adapter https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173652 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
