Hi! I am experiencing the same behaviour/problem as benste has. My
laptop is VGN-FE31HR on Jaunty 64bit. I've installed sony-
smartdimmer_0.4.deb (#67) and here is outputs:
de...@defue-laptop:~$ hal-find-by-property --key info.category --string
laptop_panel | xargs lshal -u
udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_backlight'
info.addons = {'hald-addon-generic-backlight'} (string list)
info.capabilities = {'laptop_panel'} (string list)
info.category = 'laptop_panel' (string)
info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer' (string)
info.product = 'Generic Backlight Device' (string)
info.subsystem = 'backlight' (string)
info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_backlight' (string)
laptop_panel.access_method = 'sony-nvidia' (string)
laptop_panel.num_levels = 18 (0x12) (int)
linux.hotplug_type = 2 (0x2) (int)
linux.subsystem = 'backlight' (string)
I've trid Brightness_test.sh (#72) and here is the output:
de...@defue-laptop:~/temp/sony-smartdimmer$ ./Brightness_test.sh down
