[Bug 1243897] Re: MacBookPro10, 1 brightness setting has no effect

 

I was using 310 in 13.04 (and possibly 304 before that; can't remember)
- in that case, the brightness control worked intermittently for each
suspend/resume cycle. The behavior has become consistent in 13.10;
unfortunately, it's consistently the "not responding" case.

I can't even get X to start (even in failsafe mode) when I switch to
noveau on this machine - had to boot into rescue mode and reinstall
nvidia-319.

Title:
  MacBookPro10,1 brightness setting has no effect

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After upgrade from 13.04 to 13.10, setting the screen brightness has
  no effect (either via the hotkeys, "Brightness & Lock" settings, or
  via /sys/devices/pnp0/00:07/backlight/gmux_backlight/brightness ).

  I'm using nvidia driver 319.32-0ubuntu7.
  I've tried Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1" in xorg.conf as well as the kernel argument acpi_backlight=vendor .

  I have the following in /sys:
  $ find /sys -name brightness
  /sys/devices/pnp0/00:07/backlight/gmux_backlight/brightness
  /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.0/0000:03:00.1/leds/mmc0::/brightness
  /sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/leds/smc::kbd_backlight/brightness
