https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=219890 Bug ID: 219890 Summary: illuminance sensor is jittering between correct value and 0.03lux Product: Drivers Version: 2.5 Hardware: All OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: IIO Assignee: drivers_iio@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: wysiwyg81@xxxxxxx Regression: No Hello, I have a Lenovo thinkbook 13x gen4. Automatic brightness control is flickering in Gnome, so I checked sensor with monitor-sensor command (iio-sensor-proxy). it shows following behavior: monitor-sensor --light Waiting for iio-sensor-proxy to appear +++ iio-sensor-proxy appeared === Has ambient light sensor (value: 316,000000, unit: lux) Light changed: 299,000000 (lux) Light changed: 0,030000 (lux) Light changed: 299,000000 (lux) Light changed: 0,030000 (lux) Light changed: 299,000000 (lux) Light changed: 0,030000 (lux) Light changed: 305,000000 (lux) the 0.03 is unexpected has it has never been that dark. it seems it's not a iio-sensor-proxy bug as I can see similar behavior by checking directly content of here : /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/in_illuminance_raw I checked the behavior on windows to make sure it's not an hardware failure from my sensor. While I cannot have direct access to raw sensor data on windows, the automatic brightness is perfectly smooth: no flickering of any kind. I didn't found sensor name: ❯ cat /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/name als But if there is other place I could look, let me know. -- You may reply to this email to add a comment.
