Okay, I tried 11.1 Beta3
Actually the situation has gotten worse.
Not only am I not able to change the brightness using the special keys, now not
even xbacklight works. I used to be able to dim the display using that
software, and while it was not a perfect solution at least it worked.
Bios is 1.15 which is the latest, Software ist openSuse 11.1 Beta3 with all the
factory updates available today.
Intresting behaviour:
gerecke@suse:~> grep . /sys/class/backlight/ -R
/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/bl_power:0
/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness:7
/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/actual_brightness:7
/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/max_brightness:7
After pressing the brightness-down button an few times:
gerecke@suse:~> grep . /sys/class/backlight/ -R
/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/bl_power:0
/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness:0
/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/actual_brightness:0
/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/max_brightness:7
Yet, the actual brightness does not change.
More interestingly though is the fact that when I reboot the brightness is
changed. That never happend with xbacklight, brightness change was immidiate
and had no effect after a reboot.
Please tell me what else I can do to make this work.
