Title:
Dell XPS 13 screen always on lowest dim with 3.8.0-30 kernel
Status in “linux-signed” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Since installing the latest kernel 3.8.0-30 on my Dell XPS 13, I can
only use the screen on lowest dim/brightness. Hardware keys as well as
System Settings have no effect on the dim level.
I already had issues with the brightness settings before. To make
hardware keys and System Settings brightness settings work I added
echo 0 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness
to /etc/rc.local and a custom /etc/pm/sleep.d/resume_brightness
script.
Things tried
- remove "echo 0 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness" from previously mentioned scripts
- add grub boot options "acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor acpi_osi='!Windows 2012'"
Workaround:
- keep utilizing "echo 0 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness" in both scripts
- boot using the 3.8.0-29 kernel
This is a regression.
