Description Sam Hegarty 2015-12-07 09:53:24 UTC
Description of problem: Screen Brightness adjustment does not work and isn't available as an option using the provided gnome GUI tools.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Latest 'stable' and whatever is currently included with the 'livecd' image. Have not tested anything else but possibly was broken with those as well.


How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot Fedora

Actual results: Unable to adjust screen brightness via hotkeys, using the gnome system settings tool (no screen brightness option is available, only keyboard backlight brightness) or via manually setting in /sys/ files

Additional info: /sys/class/backlight/gmux_backlight/max_brightness is reported as -1

Have tried booting with acpi_backlight=vendor and a few other parameters but had no effect.

Laptop is a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015)
