Here is a really ugly hack that lets HAL/G-P-M work with the odd brightness levels mentioned. There is a README inside the tarball. You have to hard code the legal brightness levels in an FDI file and add some sh script to some HAL scripts. It only works for devices that use the sysfs interface to set brightness but could easily be adapted.
The tarball is named with Gateway, etc but can work with any computer with this issue. ** Attachment added: "scripts and FDI file for hacked fix" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10347942/Gateway-MP8709-stepped-brightness.tar.gz -- LCD backlight turns off when between discrete levels, both from hotkeys and from dim-on-idle. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/121833 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
