Description of problem: ThinkPad T60 with Intel 945GM When I boot with an external monitor (or hotplug one), then tpb will go to the secondary (external) display for OSD, for a default extended desktop config. But when the secondary display is removed, tpb no longer displays OSD. Presumably it is still trying to put it onto the removed external display. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): tpb-0.6.4-12.fc12.x86_64 How reproducible: Each time you remove the secondary display in a dual-display (extended desktop) setup. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot with secondary display (or hotplug one), causing extended desktop 2. Remove secondary display 3. Press Fn-F7 to refresh the display settings (or simply run xrandr) 4. Press a button such as volume, and there will not be an OSD from tpb any more Actual results: No tpb OSD Expected results: tpb OSD Additional info:
Why are you even using tpb? (I keep meaning to retire it). Your desktop should handle volume and other controls, including any OSD. What desktop env are you using? If you remove the tpb package does it work as expected?
With a standard Fedora 13 install (Gnome desktop) without TPB; ThinkPad T60 with i945GM - standard OSD for brightness works - standard OSD for Fn-F8 (Touchpad on/off) works - OSD for volume or anything else does not ThinkPad T41 with RV250 - No OSD for anything ThinkPad X40 with i855GM - No OSD for anything In all cases (correct) volume information is available (starting with the 2.6.33 kernel) from ALSA as a read-only "ThinkPad Console Audio Control" mixer device. On the T60, brightness is exported via ACPI but on the T41 and X40 it is slightly different. T60: /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0/ T41/X40 /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/thinkpad_screen/ $ fgrep "" /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/thinkpad_screen/* /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/thinkpad_screen/actual_brightness:7 /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/thinkpad_screen/bl_power:0 /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/thinkpad_screen/brightness:7 /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/thinkpad_screen/max_brightness:7
FYI On the thinkpad-acpi mailing list I had a discussion back in January on the volume issue with the thinkpad-acpi developer and the pulseaudio developer. See here for the thread (look for the posts titled "thinkpad_acpi alsa sub-driver with 2.6.33-rc3-git2") http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=ibm-acpi-devel&max_rows=25&style=ultimate&viewmonth=201001
I've orphaned this package, hopefully whoever takes it over can sort this out.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. 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 '13'. 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 13'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 13 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 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 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.
