Title:
backlight can not be changed on iMac
Status in linux-lts-vivid package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Changes on the backlight do not have effect. Only possibility to
change the backlight is to boot OS X, change the backlight there and
boot back into Ubuntu.
The bug is also discribed here: https://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic
/helligkeit-anpassen/ (german Website)
I followed this guide to produce the bug-report:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Debugging/Backlight
On this website the problem I have is also discribed: "Backlight
control does not work, but there are entries in /sys/class/backlight.
This may require the ACPI backlight driver to not take control so that
a vendor specific driver will have a chance to register (see below)."
Kind regards
Jojo
