Comment 1 Matthias Clasen 2010-08-27 20:17:17 UTC
if you think this is a polkit issue, you should tell us what version of polkit you have installed.

Comment 2 ritz 2010-08-30 18:01:08 UTC
mea culpa.

polkit-0.98-1.fc14.x86_64

Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2010-09-01 20:16:34 UTC
Does gnome-power-backlight-helper hang if you run it as root, like this ?

/usr/sbin/gnome-power-backlight-helper --set-brightness 4

Comment 5 ritz 2010-09-09 10:28:03 UTC
on subsequent run. I do something interesting. gpm helper app crashes.


# pkexec /usr/sbin/gnome-power-backlight-helper  --set-brightness 5
**
GLib:ERROR:gvarianttypeinfo.c:186:g_variant_type_info_check: assertion failed: (0 <= index && index < 24)

What version glib2? Does this still happen with a fully up to date F14 system?

Comment 7 ritz 2010-10-24 01:56:56 UTC
Not reproducible any further.
