Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 492458
backlight works only after suspend on Intel KMS
Last modified: 2013-04-02 00:22:41 EDT
Description of problem: I have Thinkpad T400 with G45 graphics (Intel X4500MHD). Freshly after boot, backlight regulation doesn't work. Echo'ing any values between 0 and 15 to /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness have no effect on actual backlight, but values in brightness and actual_brightness files are changed. Keyboard key for changing backlight have no effect, moving slider in GNOME Backlight Applet have no effect. Additionally, xbacklight reports: % xbacklight No outputs have backlight property Curiously, after succesfull suspend-to-ram and resume, it start to work. Keyboard button and backlight applet change brightness. But as STR got very unreliable with F11, I'm reluctant to suspend and resume after each boot. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): % dmesg | grep -C1 backlig thinkpad_acpi: radio switch found; radios are enabled thinkpad_acpi: This ThinkPad has standard ACPI backlight brightness control, supported by the ACPI video driver thinkpad_acpi: Disabling thinkpad-acpi brightness events by default... -- Registered led device: tpacpi::standby thinkpad_acpi: Standard ACPI backlight interface available, not loading native one. input: ThinkPad Extra Buttons as /devices/virtual/input/input10 Linux sandworm.fordon.pl.eu.org 2.6.29-9.fc11.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Mar 26 10:03:10 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.6.0-14.fc11.x86_64
Simiar problem reported here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/29/53 Can we got newer xorg-x11-drv-intel in rawhide?
xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.6.99.902-1.fc11.x86_64 and the problem still exists.

problem appears to be fixed after today's updates.
Yes, I can confirm that. Thanks for fixing.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '11'. 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 11'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 11 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
Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
