 Posted: Wed Jul 29, 2009 9:29 pm Post subject: notebook brightness control - only semi-functional |
 |
|
I'm writing this, since by now I'm pretty annoyed that something which has worked before doesn't work for the two latest kernel-releases (.29,.30) and I'm not sure, if it's my fault.
So, in the current situation I can change the intense of my notebooks backlight via | Code: | | echo {0-7} > /sys/class/backlight/sony/brightness |
and that's about it.
Some weeks ago, I was also able to use x11-apps/xbacklight and have a more granular control and I want it back, cause not even does it allow more, I also don't need sudo or changing the permissions at every reboot.
So, espacially @pappy_mcfae (  ), I'd be very glad for some help.
xbacklight's error message:
| Code: | [#] xbacklight -set 40
No outputs have backlight property |
Installed packages (imho related):
| Code: | sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.30-r4

This notebook only has the normal panel and one external connector (DSUB) and although otherwise stated in the output above, there's no external monitor connected. So VGA1 being connected is wrong, LVDS1 is connected with the correct resolution/refreshrate and TV1 being disconnect is both wrong and right, cause there simply is no other connector.
Any help welcome, if I missed something, please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you. |

I think that the newer KMS Intel driver does not support brightness setting. Same thing happened to me after upgrading. (Now I use Fn key combinations to adjust brightness.)
See this https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20963 |

Thanks for the information. A sh*tty situation, imho 
The proposed acpi_backlight=vendor doesn't work for me, nomodeset does, but that's ugly. I guess, I'll also place my acpidump there and see if they can help or if I need a custom DSDT. |
