Have you tried 0.3.0? The spec file was improved in early in 0.3.0 development to actually install the schema (rather than install it, and then immediatly uninstall it...) -- that should fix the default values. About the gradual fade -- what laptop make and model do you have (IBM thinkpad?) because I can blacklist these based on the smbios properties -- that's easy to do. 0.3.0 hasn't been packaged up yet. Yes, this is a thinkpad. I'm assuming you're using /proc/acpi/ibm/brightness. Looking at that file, I see it supports: $ cat brightness level: 7 commands: up, down commands: level <level> (<level> is 0-7) The fade would imply that you're using up/down instead of just 'level X' - is that the case? No, I'm actually fading up and down by setting the level to a new value after I think 150ms steps. This makes non-fading laptops fade quite nicely, and it's much better than a suddern brightness change. I can blacklist thinkpads from the gradual change algorithm, so worry not.

Patch against CVS
This should fix the double dim problem -- I'm pretty sure it should patch
against 0.2.8.1 as I don't think the source has changed. Please could you test,
and if okay I'll commit into HEAD.
Seems to work for me. Closing as UPSTREAM, we'll get it then. |
