* Thanks a lot Alex for your help, I think that I now understand what is wrong.
* On my computer "HAL" workaround is working, here is the infos on my device.
yleet...@vaio-vgnc2zb-yohan:~$ 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.interfaces = {'org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.LaptopPanel'} (string list)
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)
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.LaptopPanel.method_argnames = {'brightness_value',
''} (string list)
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.LaptopPanel.method_execpaths =
{'hal-system-lcd-set-brightness', 'hal-system-lcd-get-brightness'} (string list)
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.LaptopPanel.method_names = {'SetBrightness',
'GetBrightness'} (string list)
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.LaptopPanel.method_signatures = {'i', ''} (string
list)
* As you can see, I somehow got the method/functions to set/get brightness. The
differences are :
info.interfaces = {'org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.LaptopPanel'} (string list)
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.LaptopPanel.method_argnames = {'brightness_value',
''} (string list)
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.LaptopPanel.method_execpaths =
{'hal-system-lcd-set-brightness', 'hal-system-lcd-get-brightness'} (string list)
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.LaptopPanel.method_names = {'SetBrightness',
'GetBrightness'} (string list)
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.LaptopPanel.method_signatures = {'i', ''} (string
list)
* I searched down what fdi file do it, it's
"/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-laptop-panel-mgmt-policy.fdi".
I'm attaching mine with this post. By comparing it with its source
version from package "hal-info", I see that all those informations where
completly deleted somehow. I tend to think that my workarounds became
obsolete. Neithertheless, a simple solution should be add previous "10
-laptop-panel-mgmt-policy.fdi" under another name like "10-my-obsolete-
laptop-panel-mgmt-policy.fdi" in "/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/"
( and then just restart HAL or your computer).
* Could somebody try that workaround ?
