2009-09-08 13:27:36 Stefan Bader description linux-image 2.6.28-15.51 in jaunty-proposed breaks brightness control of (at least) Lenovo Thinkpad T500. Verified with two T500 with different BIOS versions. The directory /proc/acpi/video is missing, and thus brightness control with brightness buttons is broken. Workaround: boot 2.6.28-15.49 from jaunty-updates/security make the brightness buttons work again Infos about breaking kernel: 1.) uname -a Linux titan 2.6.28-15-generic #51-Ubuntu SMP Mon Aug 31 13:33:16 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux 2.) cat /proc/version_signature Ubuntu 2.6.28-15.51-generic Sidenote: dmesg says this for both! kernels thinkpad_acpi: This ThinkPad has standard ACPI backlight brightness control, supported by the ACPI video driver Best regards, Arnd SRU Justification: Impact: The patch which tried to solve bug #228399 contained a glitch which caused regressions for a certain set of Intel video cards. Fix: Reverted the patch Testcase: Booting with the affected kernel causes the acpi video driver not to be initialized and this no backlight control. --- linux-image 2.6.28-15.51 in jaunty-proposed breaks brightness control of (at least) Lenovo Thinkpad T500.
