[Bug 283103] New: Changing brightness with DELL laptop hotkeys is broken
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=283103 Summary: Changing brightness with DELL laptop hotkeys is broken Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: juan.hoyosr@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de I have a Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop w/ GNOME as desktop env. The brightness cannot be changed by the destined hotkeys (Fn+Up/Down) since first installation. Other hotkeys for Suspend, Hibernate, Volume and Eject work fine. Don't know if is just coincidence, but in Control Panel / Keyboard shortcuts one can find the working hotkeys options. Brightness is never a choice.

Christopher, backlight brightness is not handled by the operating system. It should work even with no OS running. With the 2.1.0 BIOS it is not working anymore in Linux (don't know why), maybe just in the bootloader (worked for me in GRUB). The solution is to downgrade your bios to the 1.7.0 version.
According to the above your BIOS version might be of interest. But just wait a little for the suse-experts they probably know better what to try. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
