Comment 1 Josh Boyer 2012-02-08 14:34:18 UTC
Is there a specific kernel this doesn't work with?

Did a previous kernel work?

Is there anything in dmesg when you try to adjust brightness?

What does /sys/class/backlight contain?

We need as many details as possible to even begin working on this and your bug report is sorely lacking.

> Is there a specific kernel this doesn't work with?

No, it standard Fedora PAE kernel. (3.2.3-2.fc16.i686.PAE)
 
> Did a previous kernel work?

I tried 3.2.2 and 3.2.1 kernels without any success.

> Is there anything in dmesg when you try to adjust brightness?

No.

encountered the issue with.  Before doing so, please ensure you are testing the
latest kernel update in that release and attach any new and relevant information
you may have gathered.

If you are not the original bug reporter and you still experience this bug,
please file a new report, as it is possible that you may be seeing a
different problem.
