Bug Description
Recent updates rendered my brightness control via gnome-power-manager unusable. I have no way to controlling the brightness of my screen. whether be it by soft-keys (fn+f7 or fn+f8) or by the Power Manager Brightness Applet in gnome.
attached you'll find my hal_output.txt from issuing the "lshal" command in gnome-temrinal
Unfortunately, i dont remember exactly what packages updated when the bug appeared. If anyone can explain how i might be able to find out, id appreciate it.
Im running Ubuntu 8.10 x86_64 with kernel 2.6.27-11-generic
I expected to have brightness control
But i have no brightness control.
EDIT: This is noted on a ubuntuforums.org thread. http://
EDIT: Confirmed that the problem lies with the kernel 2.6.27-11.23
