2013-09-16 23:06:45 LaunchPadGirl description Hi, I'm running Mint 15 Cinnamon x64 on a Satellite P70 with Nvidia Optimus; GT740M/Intel HD 4600 with Bumblebee installed and noticed that the FN Brightness keys are not working. Before I had Bumblee installed and Mint running off of nouveau by default I was still not able to change the brightness with the keys. To install Mint at the grub menu I need to add; acpi_backlight=vendor I also noticed in /etc/default/grub it has the line like this; GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_backlight=vendor" I do have the correct /sys/class/backlight /path; /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight $ ls actual_brightness bl_power brightness device max_brightness power subsystem type uevent Adding the Brightness Applet to the panel does work! These are the steps I've tested without success. 1. acpi_listen - does not show anything when pressing the keys 2. I did not try xbacklight since it's not installed by default in Mint 3. sudo echo 5 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness gives me permission denied, it's my understanding you need to 'su' and change to root, but I don't have a root passwd on the box and I'd rather just leave is sudo for now. cat to the max_brightness shows below; cat /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/max_brightness 5273 I have not tested adding acpi_osi to the line below, I just read about this as I was posting this bug report, so I"ll report back if this works. GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= "quiet splash acpi_osi=" I hope Mint Team will get this working soon for this laptop model, because I'm assuming when the FN keys work you get a nice OSD being shown?
