Description Jan Kratochvil 2010-03-01 09:57:47 UTC
Description of problem:
I was using "acpitool -l 7" successfully before but it no longer works - expecting due to the current kernel.
Using Lenovo Thinkpad T60, BIOS 79ETE5WW (2.25).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
acpitool-0.5.1-1.fc12.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32.8-58.fc12.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
acpitool -l 7

Actual results:
Could not open file: /proc/acpi/ibm/brightness for writing.

Expected results:
Brightness set.

Additional info:
# tail -n999 /proc/acpi/video/*/*/brightness
==> /proc/acpi/video/VID1/CRT0/brightness <==
<not supported>

==> /proc/acpi/video/VID1/DVI0/brightness <==
<not supported>

==> /proc/acpi/video/VID1/LCD0/brightness <==
levels:  30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100
current: 100
# echo 100 >/proc/acpi/video/VID1/LCD0/brightness
works fine

This is something that needs to be reported to the upstream developers.

Please report it at http://freeunix.dyndns.org:8000/site2/acpitool.shtml

Thanks
