Description Mike Ruckman 2013-11-03 06:31:51 UTC
Description of problem:
Lenovo W530. Updated installation of Fedora 20. Tested in gnome-shell as well as xfce4-power-manager. Using the both power-manager tools, the screen brightness isn't effected by settings.

Even from the cmd line (echo 1-10 > /sys/class/brightness/acpi_video0/brightness) doesn't create any visible change - although the actual_brightness file does reflect the changes from the echo command.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
F20

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Gnome-shell: Attempt to set brightness with hotkeys, power settings or command line
2. Xfce4-power-manager: Attempt to set brightness
3. CmdLine: run 'echo 6 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness' (or any other value between 1-10)

Actual results:
Nothing happens.

Expected results:
Brightness changes.

Additional info:
This is a potential duplicate of bug 722745.
