The regular system uses the radeon driver instead. This explains the different behaviour. Did this ever work before? Please attach Xserver config and logfile as usual. -- 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.

Thinkpad means 965GM not Radeon X300. Possibly this issue has already been fixed in git. I'll attach the patch. -- 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.

I can't install beta1 because the live installer is broken here. xbacklight -set 90 works fine and also I can change the brightness with kpowersave -- 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.

Unfortunately there is no backlight fix included, so my assumptions were wrong. :-( I'm afraid only Intel can fix this, so I set this to LATER for now. I'm following the upstream Bugzilla movement and intel driver git check-ins, so eventually I'll see a possible fix for your problem, we can give a try. For now, please use the workaround. BTW, I'm also using xbacklight, since I didn't find brightness buttons on my laptop yet (Dell Inspiron 6400). Maybe I should check my manual ... -- 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.

I installed new opensuse 11 beta2 x64 version. Brightness keys affect screen light level but on a quite random way and it is almost unusable. As soon as I touch something in kpowersave, the screen is set back to the maximum brightness. Brightness setting inside kpowersave configuration works well. I can perform testings if that helps (but I'm not able to re-compile my kernel...)
