[Bug 1455002] Re: Thinkpad x200t backlight settings

 

EricDHH, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As
per http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-
netbooks/thinkpad-x-series-tablet-laptops/thinkpad-x200-tablet an update
to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (3.21). If you
update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate
does it change anything?

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then
please mark this report Status New.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Thinkpad x200t backlight settings

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  ubuntu 15.04 AMD64

  Howto reproduce this bug that did not exist up to ubuntu 14.10

  Set your required backlight power with the Fn-Keys and shutdown the
  machine. Now bootup again, the login screen and your desktop is on
  lowest backlight power that can be set, maybe you have to lower the
  light to see your display. You have to power the backlight up with the
  Fn-Keys after login., but this will not survive next shutdown.
