[Bug 1255428] Re: 8086:0116 [Lenovo IdeaPad Z570] LCD brightness control keys and widget do not work on Intel Graphics
Confirmed on 4.2-RC1. Same workarounds still work. BTW I also checked on
Fedora 22 which has kernel 4.0.4 (admittedly lesser version but) which
means it's not Ubuntu specific anyhow.
** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => Confirmed

Title:
8086:0116 [Lenovo IdeaPad Z570] LCD brightness control keys and widget
do not work on Intel Graphics
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
After upgrading to Saucy, on my Lenovo IdeaPad Z570 with Intel HD
Graphics 3000, it is no longer possible to control the LCD brightness
using the hardware brightness control keys. Likewise for the KDE power
management settings or the battery icon on my Kubuntu Plasma tray. (I
don't use GNOME/Unity.) Until Raring I did not have this problem.
WORKAROUND: At a terminal:
echo 150 | sudo tee /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness
where 150 is on the scale of 0 to whatever is given within
/sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/max_brightness. Based on this I
wrote a GUI which however needs to be run using sudo/kdesudo/gksudo. I
have attached it.
