My x5dij laptop has no light sensor like the asus m50. I've done the 'debugging' Scott Howard suggested in bug #368506, first without restarting video kernel module.
keyevents reported by xev: keycode 232 = (keysym 0x1008ff03, XF86MonBrightnessDown), state = 0x0 keycode 232 = (keysym 0x1008ff03, XF86MonBrightnessDown), state = 0x0 keycode 233 = (keysym 0x1008ff02, XF86MonBrightnessUp), state = 0x0 keycode 233 = (keysym 0x1008ff02, XF86MonBrightnessUp), state = 0x0 I think this is what's supposed to be. Though in contrast to e.g. the letter keys, both events are reported instantly and not on key down/key up. That's the case with all Fn+ - keys. The events reported by acpi_listen are a bit strange: key brightness up produces: video LCDD 00000086 00000000 hotkey ATKD 00000011 0000007e and brightness down: video LCDD 00000087 00000000 hotkey ATKD 00000020 000000fa for the brightness down key, every press that is precedes by the same keypress produces two hotkey-events: video LCDD 00000087 00000000 hotkey ATKD 00000020 000000fb hotkey ATKD 00000020 000000fc That's not the case for brightness up. Over all I suppose this can't be our problem. So it may be a gnome- power-manager problem. The command dbus-monitor --session "type='signal',interface='org.freedesktop.PowerManagement.Backlight'" produces output only for the brightness down-key: signal sender=:1.25 -> dest=(null destination) serial=102 path=/org/freedesktop/PowerManagement/Backlight; interface=org.freedesktop.PowerManagement.Backlight; member=BrightnessChanged uint32 0 And the output of gnome-power-manager --verbose --no-daemon is in the attached file. I inserted some blank lines between my keypresses. ** Attachment added: "gnome-power-manager.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/29192147/gnome-power-manager.txt -- Asus brightness keys only toggle between the lowest two levels https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/224636 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
