2008-12-02 00:03:38 Mario Limonciello description Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager Currently, several Dell laptops contain Intel graphics cards. The Intel driver reports that it is able to change the display brightness, however it also reports the number of levels supported is zero. In cases such as these, gnome power manager should fallback to the functional HAL Backend if it's available for the laptop. When falling back to the HAL backend, since the laptop supports the brightness changing from the HW key rather than trying to force a value change.

It has been included in Jaunty as well. TEST CASE: This is only "known" to affect the Studio 1535 and 1537, but likely affects other platforms too. It can be reproduced by trying to press the brightness keys on such a platform. No popup OSD is observed. REGRESSION POTENTIAL: The code doesn't introduce any new methods, but simply adds better logic handling for corner cases. The risk for regression shouldn't be high.
