I got the same problem using kernel-2.6.38-1.fc15.i686. You'll find the requested files attached. No xorg.conf present. The laptop in question is a Samsung N210 Plus. If more info is desired, please let me know. *** Bug 582830 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I also have an Samsung N210 (P2), same problem. But I do wonder if this ticket is under the right category. I think it should be filled under Kernel, because it needs a kernel module to work. Unfortunately, this bug is still present in F15. Still no brightness control. This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping As I wrote yesterday, this problem is still existing in F15. What kind of additional information is needed? I have the same problem on my N150 netbook. And also I have a problem with too dim backlight when running on battery. I think the core of these problems is described here -- Bug 647406 When booted while running on battery, I have value 7 in /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0/max_brightness I'm also having this problem, Fedora 15, lxde, 2.6.38.7-30.fc15.i686 Great, brightness control now works! But unfortunately, screen brightness sometimes flickers - changing text terminal ([Ctrl] + [Alt] + [F...]) stops flickering. 2.6.40.3-0.fc15.i686 As I just discovered, the screen brightness flickering appears: * when Gnome tries to dim the screen (workaround: uncheck the option 'Dim screen to save power' in 'Gnome > System Settings > Screen), * when moving the brightness button slowly around in 'Gnome > System Settings > Screen'. But the problem does not appear when changing the screen brithness stepwise by keyboard commands. The other problem is (at least for my samsung N145 netbook) that there are only three brightness levels -- minimum, little more than minimum and maximum. For everyday work all of them are unusable. I am still seeing this problem having upgraded to Fedora 16, kernel 3.1.0-7.fc16.i686 Works great for me now with F16 and 3.1.1-2.fc16.i686.PAE kernel. The only remaining problem is that the brightness level is not preserved after reboot. Same here: 2.6.41.1-1.fc15.i686. Great! This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora.
