http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=540548 Summary: [X11:XOrg/xorg-x11] display brightness cannot be changed Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE.org Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: 3rd party software AssignedTo: sndirsch@novell.com ReportedBy: ousia@wanadoo.es QAContact: opensuse-communityscreening@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- Created an attachment (id=318972) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=318972) XOrg configuration file For some strange reason, after upgrading the xorg-x11 packages from the X11:XOrg repository, the display brightness in GNOME is set to 0% and it cannot be changed in any way (I mean, increasing the value has no effect on the brightness). It worked fine with the original opensuse-11.1 and updated the packages in the X11:XOrg repository many times. But after an upgrade some time ago, increasing display brightness is simply broken. I attach the xorg.conf file and the X.0.log file.

There was a major update of the radeonhd driver at some point, so I guess that's what you hit. If we don't find the commit trivially, we'll probably have to git-bisect this issue. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Please try xrandr --output PANEL --set Backlight 128 Also try if changing to 255 and 0 changes anything. If this works, Gnome is probably still only checking _Backlight.

I have just submitted a new package to X11:Drivers:Video / X11:XOrg.

As the backlight issue is fixed differently there, I'd like you to ask to retest. It's good to use the new version anyway, because it fixes a number of weird issues.

Could it be compiled back against openSUSE 11.1? Otherwise it won't be easy to check that on my computer. Thanks for your help, Pablo -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
