[Bug 557635] Re: Intel GMA X4500HD - LCD Brightness Control no longer works

 

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xorg
  
  This is on an Asus K50IJ laptop with Intel GMA X4500HD graphics. In the
  previous release (Karmic), the LCD brightness adjustment both on the
  keyboard, as well as the auto-dim for power save, worked flawlessly. As
  of today (April 7th, 2010) with all updates run, this still does not
  function for me in Lucid. The hotkey press does invoke the onscreen
  display that shows that an adjustment should be taking place, although
  it has  a definite delay for subsequent presses. The actual screen
  brightness, however, does not change.
  
  Needless to say, this also effects battery life. In Karmic, I was able
  to run about 3 hours on battery, now I can get right at about 2 hours,
  presumably due to the extra battery consumption necessary to run the
  screen without being able to reduce brightness.
  
  The output of lshw is attached, hope this helps.
  
  Thanks
