Here are : - a hald fdi policy script (/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/10-laptop-panel-mgmt-policy.fdi) which : * modifies the hal "laptop_panel.num_levels" property provided by buggy acpi to replace it with 21 (the correct value for my computer) * changes the laptop_panel.access_method not to interfere with the others sony systems. These modifications are applied only for Sony CorporationVGN-S5M_S.
- patches for hal-system-lcd-{get,set}-brightness-linux (hal 0.5.8.1-4ubuntu1) With these, all works fine on my computer using gnome-power-manager. ** Attachment added: "hal fdi policy" http://librarian.launchpad.net/5579378/10-laptop-panel-mgmt-policy.fdi -- LCD brightness setting doesn't work with Sony Vaio VGN-S5M https://launchpad.net/bugs/77739 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
