https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=456420 Summary: PowerManager not able to set screen brightness Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: RC 1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: michael.monreal@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- In 11.1rc1 the PowerManager is unable to change display brightness. Pressing Fn-F10/F11 pops up the brightness control (with no bar shown) but does not actually change anything. I don't know when this broke but it used to work in 11.0 with the same laptop (Lenovo 3000 N200 with Intel GMA X3100 GM965 graphics). -- 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.

Any idea how to debug this any further? Command line tools etc?
