2008-03-15 12:17:36 Michael Doube description Binary package hint: xbacklight xbacklight worked as expected under Gutsy, but does not work at all under Hardy. Running xbacklight from the command line echoes what you last set the lcd brightness value to, but the brightness is not changed. Sony Vaio SZ650N, Intel GM965 / GMA X3100, 'intel' driver. Binary package hint: xbacklight xbacklight worked as expected under Gutsy, but does not work at all under Hardy. Running xbacklight from the command line echoes what you last set the lcd brightness value to, but the brightness is not changed. running: $ xrandr --output LVDS --set BACKLIGHT_CONTROL native from the command line fixes the problem.

Sony Vaio SZ650N, Intel GM965 / GMA X3100, 'intel' driver. Backlight control on Hardy is dependent on xbacklight, for Sony Vaios with Intel display adapters. In intrepid, backlight dimming does not require xbacklight and Fn keys are properly mapped. In both scenarios running the following command is necessary for the backlight to respond to input. $ xrandr --output LVDS --set BACKLIGHT_CONTROL native Sony Vaio SZ650N, Intel GM965 / GMA X3100, 'intel' driver. This bug has been duped and unduped a couple of times with no improvement despite the mother-dupes being fixed, so I'm making it independent again. See also: bug #173652
