Brightness keys never worked here with 7.10 (so not a regression). Still does not work with 8.04beta1, kubuntu, amd64.
Following the instructions here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/HotkeyResearch I stopped hotkey-setup and then ran "sudo showkey -u | tee -a hotkey-log.txt". I then pressed the brightness-increase (Fn+Home) and then the brightness-decrease (Fn+End). The results are: ''' kb mode was UNICODE press any key (program terminates after 10s of last keypress)... 0xe0 0x54 0xe0 0xd4 0xe0 0x4c 0xe0 0xcc ''' other system info: dmidecode -s system-manufacturer: LENOVO dmidecode -s system-product-name: 6465CTO dmidecode -s system-version: ThinkPad T61 video is intel x3100. uname -a: Linux ganymede 2.6.24-12-generic #1 SMP Wed Mar 12 22:31:43 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux -- [REGRESSION] Impossible to change LCD brightness on Thinkpad R61/T61/X61 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/198476 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
