[Bug 1391153] Re: Thnikpad X220 - brightness control doesn't work

 

narel, the next step is to fully commit bisect from your prior working
kernel to 3.16 in order to identify the last good kernel commit,
followed immediately by the first bad one. This will allow for a more
expedited analysis of the root cause of your issue.  Could you please do
this following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection ? Please
note, finding adjacent kernel versions is not fully commit bisecting.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Thnikpad X220 - brightness control doesn't work

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After upgrading to Ubuntu 14.10 brightness control no longer works on
  Lenovo Thinkpad X220. Fn+Home/Fn+End doesn't work, the only way is to
  echo value to:

  /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/card0-LVDS-1/intel_backlight/brightness

  I use Awesome WM, but it doesn't seem to be related to Awesome.
