I'm seeing this in Hardy 8.04 on my X60, with and without AC power. (Each mode has a different max brightness level, but neither is attainable.)
- The max brightness setting in the Power Manager Brightness Applet (gnome-power-manager) is lower than the actual max brightness. - Pressing the Fn+Home (brightness up) key causes the screen to briefly flash full brightness but immediately return to gnome-power-manager's false max brightness. - True max brightness can be temporarily achieved with the command "echo 4 > /proc/acpi/ibm/cmos" but any subsequent brightness control via gnome-power-manager returns it to the false max brightness. I don't know what this means in terms of what's happening on a lower level. (I'm just an end-user who happens to be more productive when out in the sun.) -- Max brightness is not max brightness https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/203096 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
