https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=297155 Summary: Brightness control /proc/acpi/ibm/brightness: not using full range Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 6 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: burnus@gmx.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- This is with a few-days old Factory. I have a Thinpad R61 (should be the same hardware as a T61). If I change the brightness using kpowersave or directly via /proc/acpi/ibm/brightness I can only reach half of the total range. Starting from level 0 and minimal brightness using [Fn]+[bright v]: echo level 7 > /proc/acpi/ibm/brightness gives only half of the maximal brightness. Analogously, starting from level 7 plus [Fn]+[bright ^], going to level 0 reduces also the brightness to half and not to the minimal possible value. Also, if one presses [Fn]+[bright ^/v], the level jumps from 7 to 1/0 [alternating] to 1 to 0 and from 0 to 6/7 to 7. (Actually, some values in between are shown, if one outputs /proc/acpi/ibm/brightness every 0.1s: "0 ... 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 6 7 6 7 ...). I don't know which hwinfo --<???> or similar info is needed. -- 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.
