Andy, I tested the kernel at http://people.ubuntu.com/~apw/lp311716-intrepid/ (after disabling the thinkpad_acpi brightness_enable module option) and brightness controls do indeed work with that kernel. Thanks! It results in there only being thinkpad_screen/ under /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/.
Oddly, I also tried the current jaunty kernel, 2.6.28-4.9, (on intrepid) and gnome-power-manager is able to adjust brightness levels with that kernel somehow, despite both the /proc/acpi/video and /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0/ interfaces not doing anything. Thanks again! -- [intrepid] proposed 2.6.27-11.22 kernel breaks t61 lcd brightness https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/314119 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
