OK, I've got an X230 where this works for me on 4.4 and 4.8, so if it's being handled by the ACPI driver then we may have some weird ACPI issue going on. Can you dump the acpi tables so I can sanity check these to see what is different from your X230 and mine?
Please install acpica-tools and run: sudo acpidump > acpidump-x230.log and attach that to the bug report ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Colin Ian King (colin-king) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1626429 Title: [4.8 regression][ThinkPad X230] brightness change keys do not work any more To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1626429/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
