Right Michael, And probably those 2 lines could be added in /etc/rc.local till bug #197929[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/197929] (and therefore 176888[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xbacklight/+bug/176888] as a duplicate) isn't solved. I didn't tried yet but it should work.
By the way about smooth changing matter, I think I have a bug at least on my machine: xbacklight response times is sometime not immediate and in some cases doesn't respect the "time" setting. I have set "time" to 0 in order to hace an immediate xbacklight change it sometime doesn't work. This may be another issue: could you check on your machine Michael? Here is an use case example: -Push Fn keys 3 times to increase backlight luminosity Result expected: -Luminosity is increased 3 times successively by the amount asked (10% with my above script) Bad result sometime on my computer: -Luminosity doesn't change for an approximate time of 1 to 2 seconds (it should be immediate) and then suddenly increase luminosity by 3 steps -- unable to adjust screen brightness on recent Sony Vaio notebooks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173652 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
