Title:
[Lenovo V570 Notebook] Brightness not changing via UI widget in GNOME
shell or hotkeys
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Fresh install of a Vivid Vervet Ubuntu GNOME daily iso.
Adding debugging information from
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Debugging/Backlight
I found that
echo 8 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness
worked to lower my screen brightness, without playing with kernel
parameters.
Booting with the kernel parameter: acpi_backlight=vendor did not
enable the UI widget or hotkeys, although echo 8 >
/sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness continued to work.
Booting with the kernel parameter: video.use_bios_initial_backlight=0
did not allow for hotkey or widget changes of brightness.
Booting with the kernel parameter: video.use_native_backlight=1 also
did not resolve the issue.
Creating /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/80-backlight.conf
with the contents:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
Option "AccelMethod" "sna"
Option "Backlight" "intel_backlight" # use your backlight that works here
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection
and rebooting does resolve the issue.
