[Bug 1338063] Re: [Toshiba Portege Z835-ST6N03] Brightness control lost after suspend screen dimmed

 

John D Marsden, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available from the very top line at the top of the page (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-3.16-rc4

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  [Toshiba Portege Z835-ST6N03] Brightness control lost after suspend
  screen dimmed

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Using Ubuntu 14.04.  Recently updated to kernel version Ubuntu
  3.13.0-30.54-generic 3.13.11.2

  I expect brightness of my LCD screen to remain the same and be
  controllable after waking from suspend.  It doesn't and isn't.

  This seems to have only started recently - presumably after a recent
  update.

  What happens:

  Brightness controls fully working after initial boot, both through
  function keys and system settings.

  After putting computer into suspend and then re-awakening the LCD
  screen comes up with lowest brightness in actual appearance but
  settings still show the brightness as set at suspend time.  Controls
  for brightness have become ineffective - they slide the brightness bar
  along but make no difference to the actual brightness of the screen.
