Brightness control on ThinkPad X230 (23202TG)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

recently I installed Debian 8.2 on my Lenovo ThinkPad X230, model 23202TG
and found that brightness control keys does not work anymore. In the system
logs I found this messages, related to brightness control

kernel: thinkpad_acpi: ThinkPad ACPI Extras v0.25
kernel: thinkpad_acpi: http://ibm-acpi.sf.net/
kernel: thinkpad_acpi: ThinkPad BIOS G2ETA4WW (2.64 ), EC unknown
kernel: thinkpad_acpi: Lenovo ThinkPad X230, model 23202TG
kernel: thinkpad_acpi: Unsupported brightness interface, please contact ibm-acpi-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
kernel: thinkpad_acpi: radio switch found; radios are enabled
kernel: thinkpad_acpi: This ThinkPad has standard ACPI backlight brightness control, supported by the ACPI video driver
kernel: thinkpad_acpi: Disabling thinkpad-acpi brightness events by default...

I also tried to add "acpi_backlight=vendor" to kernel boot parameters, as
suggested at ThinkWiki [0] but this does not help.

In both cases there is an /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/ entry in the sysfs
which reports max_brightness equal to 4438. But the only way to change current
brightness is to "echo" some value manually.

I tested with standard 3.16 kernel and 4.2.3 kernel from backports repository.
Previously I used Slackware64 14.0 with 3.10 kernel and brightness keys worked
as expected out of the box.

Any ideas how to fix this? If necessary I will be happy to provide any required
information and perform tests.

Thanks and sorry for my English.
