description |
Brightness controls are not working in Unity / Xorg. When pressing the keys <fn><home> and <fn><end> on my Lenovo W510, I see the indicator on the screen showing the level of brightness changing, so key mapping is not the problem. However, the brightness is not changing.
On the kernel level, I have the single following device:
# cd /sys/class/backlight
# ls -l
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Nov 3 17:16 acpi_video0 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0/0000:01:00.0/backlight/acpi_video0
When playing with the <fn><home> and <fn><end>, the value of /sys/class/backlight/brightness changes accordingly. The screen brightness does not change.
Performing:
# echo 10 >brightness
...does not have any effect (regardless of the value provided, 10 being just an example).
WORKAROUND
There is an odd workaround. Simply go to the console using <CTRL><ALT><F1> and using the <fn><home> and <fn><end> keys, brightness then changes. Return to Unity / Xorg with <CTRL><ALT><F7> and the selected brightness persists.
NON WORKING WORKAROUND
On the web, I read that adding:
Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1"'
in xorg.conf might fix the problem. I do not have an xorg and when I let the proprietary Nvidia driver generate one and add this option, X does not start anymore.

Brightness controls are not working in Unity / Xorg. When pressing the keys <fn><home> and <fn><end> on my Lenovo W510, I see the indicator on the screen showing the level of brightness changing, so key mapping is not the problem. However, the brightness is not changing.
On the kernel level, I have the single following device:
# cd /sys/class/backlight
# ls -l
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Nov 3 17:16 acpi_video0 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0/0000:01:00.0/backlight/acpi_video0
When playing with the <fn><home> and <fn><end>, the value of /sys/class/backlight/brightness changes accordingly. The screen brightness does not change.
Performing:
# echo 10 >brightness
...does not have any effect (regardless of the value provided, 10 being just an example).
WORKAROUND
There is an odd workaround. Simply go to the console using <CTRL><ALT><F1> and using the <fn><home> and <fn><end> keys, brightness then changes. Return to Unity / Xorg with <CTRL><ALT><F7> and the selected brightness persists.
NON WORKING WORKAROUND
On the web, I read that adding:
Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1"'
in xorg.conf might fix the problem. I do not have an xorg and when I let the proprietary Nvidia driver generate one and add this option, X does not start anymore.

description |
Brightness controls are not working in Unity / Xorg. When pressing the keys <fn><home> and <fn><end> on my Lenovo W510, I see the indicator on the screen showing the level of brightness changing, so key mapping is not the problem. However, the brightness is not changing.
On the kernel level, I have the single following device:
# cd /sys/class/backlight
# ls -l
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Nov 3 17:16 acpi_video0 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0/0000:01:00.0/backlight/acpi_video0
When playing with the <fn><home> and <fn><end>, the value of /sys/class/backlight/brightness changes accordingly. The screen brightness does not change.
Performing:
# echo 10 >brightness
...does not have any effect (regardless of the value provided, 10 being just an example).
WORKAROUND
There is an odd workaround. Simply go to the console using <CTRL><ALT><F1> and using the <fn><home> and <fn><end> keys, brightness then changes. Return to Unity / Xorg with <CTRL><ALT><F7> and the selected brightness persists.
NON WORKING WORKAROUND
On the web, I read that adding:
Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1"'
in xorg.conf might fix the problem. I do not have an xorg and when I let the proprietary Nvidia driver generate one and add this option, X does not start anymore.
