[Bug 670473] [NEW] Several problems with brightness control

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

I have several problems with brightness control on my HP Compaq 6715s
since Maverick. I haven't had any of these problems in Lucid except for
one.

The problems are:

(1) Brightness lowers itself after a while and does not switch back to
the level it had before when you move the mouse. Until I installed
todays updates for Maverick this worked without problems.

(2) When problem (1) occured or sometimes without problem (1) occuring
it is not possible to raise brightness to its maximum level. You can
sometimes get it to its maximum if you lower the level and increase it a
few times.

(3) Sometimes brightness can not be increased. Same workaround as in (2)
helps: lower and try to increase it a few times.

Please let me know if you need any more information or logs.
