 |
|
Hello.
After recent upgrade, brightness control stopped working via Fn+F5 and Fn+F6 on my laptop, i.e. it works, but only for one step below maximum (decreasing for ~7% only)
My kernel version is 4.19.86-gentoo. I have enabled some features in its config
| Code: | lenovo ~ # zgrep -i thinkpad /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI=m
CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_ALSA_SUPPORT=y
# CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_DEBUGFACILITIES is not set
# CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_UNSAFE_LEDS=y
CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_VIDEO=y
CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_HOTKEY_POLL=y |
Also updated /etc/default/grub
| Code: | | GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="... acpi_backlight=vendor ..." |
Here are ACPI events occurring when I press these combinations:
| Code: | lenovo ~ # acpi_listen
video/brightnessdown BRTDN 00000087 00000000 K
video/brightnessdown BRTDN 00000087 00000000
video/brightnessup BRTUP 00000086 00000000 K
video/brightnessup BRTUP 00000086 00000000 |

But it didn't resolve the issue.
Meanwhile, the following commands change brightness correctly until the screen is almost black
/etc/acpi/actions/backlight.sh down
/etc/acpi/actions/backlight.sh up
But if I press Fn+F5 or Fn+F6, value in /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness is changing between 809 and 852 only (from /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/max_brightness).
Please help. |
