Xorg log
This is a log file after crashing the X server by changing the brightness. This
was with no /etc/X11/xorg.conf file present.

Output of lspci -vvv
Inspired by this page: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Problem_with_LCD_brightness_buttons I issued a modprobe -r video as root. Now in X, pressing the brightness increase and decrease key combinations doesn't change the brightness at all, but also X doesn't crash. I don't know if one would call that progress or not :). Certainly seems to be something to do with the video kernel module and X. Also perhaps related: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/95937 Isn't this DUP of bug 220466? (In reply to comment #7) > Isn't this DUP of bug 220466? Difficult to say. Certainly similar hardware, but 220466 doesn't report the Xserver crashing and restarting, but rather the screen going black. I looked thru' the Xorg.log posted there, but it didn't seem to contain any kind of backtrace, so impossible to say if it's the same. It's probably related, for sure, but I'm not sure it's a DUP. Yeah, not a dupe, this is an actual crash. intel driver should fix this in F7 and later. It goes out of its way to suppress BIOS adjustment of the display brightness and handle it internally instead. No intel driver update is planned for FC6, so I'm calling this fixed in rawhide. |
