Hi, There have been quite a few bug reports on Ubuntu launchpad regarding the brightness keys not updating the gnome-power-manager sliders. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/79135 The problems seems to be that when changing the brightness via fn+[pgup| pgdown] does not reflects changes on /proc/ibm/acpi/brighness level, and therefore is not picked up by HAL, leading to the same value always on the proc interface, and consequently on g-p-m and on the OSD progress bar. I have seen a thread in the archives but unfortunately there was no happy ending: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=evvkmp%249gg% 241%40sea.gmane.org Is there any input/information i can require from bug reporters on launchpad to get this on track to be fixed ? Is this fixable at all in ibm-acpi ? Thanks in advance, Alfredo. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
