[Bug 1197482] Re: After suspend/resume, screen is dark for brighness levels below 13 with i915 driver on MacBook Air 6, 2

 

Linus G Thiel, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an
issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

** Description changed:

- After installing Raring on my 2013 MacBook Air 6,2, I find that
- sometimes when resuming from suspend, the screen is dark. I have tracked
- this down to the i915 driver, where the screen brightness can be
- adjusted between levels 0-15. This works correctly after boot, with 0
- being dark and 15 the brightest.
- 
- Sometimes after suspend/resume, the screen is equally dark between
- levels 0-12, and seems to be equally bright for levels 13-15
- (brightest). I say sometimes, because it's not every time. It _might_ be
- after the second or third suspend/resume, but I'm not yet sure how to
- repeat it.
- 
- When this happens, I have to kill lightum, the backlight/keyboard
- monitoring daemon, and manually set the brightness using the sys
- filesystem:
- 
- echo '15' | sudo tee
- /sys/devices/pci0000\:00/0000\:00\:02.0/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
