On my xps 1330, the two workarounds behave as follows: - putting "blacklist video" in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
The brightness keys work fine, the only issue is that the brightness indicator does not appear when you press the buttons. NOTE: this workaround was causing a serious problem, disabling keyboard events after changing the brightness (bug #261721). However, this bug was fixed by the 2.6.27-8 kernel (available in proposed), so with this kernel the workaround can be used again. - deleting /etc/acpi/video_brightness<up/down>.sh This also works, including the brightness indicator. However, as reported by Sandro Mani above, the brighness jumps to 100% and then quickly back to the desired level, which is annoying and potentially harmful for the screen. So I personally prefer the first workaround for now (hoping for a fix soon) -- Screen brightness double level changes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/207473 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kde-guidance in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
