[Bug 1378418] Re: Brightness bug in kernel 3.13 and Thinkpads/Dockingstation

 

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.17 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".


Thanks in advance.

Title:
  Brightness bug in kernel 3.13 and Thinkpads/Dockingstation

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When undocking my Thinkpad T30s from my dockingstation, the brightness
  is set to the lowest level and can't be changed.

  Workaround:
  - Dock/Undock again. After the second undocking the brightness level can be changed. Rule of thumb: Every uneven undocking won't work.
  - Reboot
