Opening clone bug, to track the rebuild of hal with dell backlight support. +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #237767 +++ hal-0.5.9-5.fc7 There's no brightness control for the Latitude D420 in gnome-power-manager. lshal output attached -- Additional comment from bnocera on 2007-04-25 06:35 EST -- Created an attachment (id=153410) lshal.txt -- Additional comment from davidz on 2007-04-25 11:49 EST -- Please test if this works if you rebuild the HAL SRPM with --with-dell-backlight - notably you need libsmbios-devel, libsmbios for this. Just waiting for the damn merge to happen so we can make this change in Fedora. Thanks. -- Additional comment from bnocera on 2007-04-25 12:30 EST -- It works, kind of: - the dcdbas module isn't loaded automatically - the brightness is still handled in hardware, and that causes major confusion (especially when enabling the automatic light sensor brightness, as in bug 237768)
Rebuilt in: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=10536 Just need to wait for it to be tagged now.
Will be in f7-final. Yay!
