Description of problem: Since the latest update to KDE 4.6, the brightness control no longer works. I have chosen kdebase as the component since I am not sure whom to blame ;-). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdebase-4.6.1-3.fc14.x86_64 How reproducible: Everytime. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try adjusting the brightness 2. 3. Actual results: No change in brightness Expected results: A change in brightness Additional info: There seem to be two levels. A low brightness level and a zero brightness level. It does not reach maximum brightness. I can see the screen at full brightness at the login screen, but as it starts logging in, the brightness control is lost.
and information i stupidly forgot to put here. :) [dhaval@gondor ~]$ lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Core Processor DRAM Controller (rev 02) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Core Processor PCI Express x16 Root Port (rev 02) 00:16.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset HECI Controller (rev 06) 00:16.3 Serial controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset KT Controller (rev 06) 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82577LM Gigabit Network Connection (rev 06) 00:1a.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset USB2 Enhanced Host Controller (rev 06) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 06) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset PCI Express Root Port 1 (rev 06) 00:1c.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset PCI Express Root Port 2 (rev 06) 00:1c.3 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset PCI Express Root Port 4 (rev 06) 00:1c.4 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset PCI Express Root Port 5 (rev 06) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset USB2 Enhanced Host Controller (rev 06) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 Mobile PCI Bridge (rev a6) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 5 Series Chipset LPC Interface Controller (rev 06) 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset 6 port SATA AHCI Controller (rev 06) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset SMBus Controller (rev 06) 00:1f.6 Signal processing controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset Thermal Subsystem (rev 06) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT218 [NVS 3100M] (rev a2) 01:00.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1) 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1000 0d:00.0 SD Host controller: Ricoh Co Ltd Device e822 (rev 01) 0d:00.1 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd Device e230 (rev 01) 0d:00.3 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Ricoh Co Ltd Device e832 (rev 01) ff:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Core Processor QuickPath Architecture Generic Non-core Registers (rev 02) ff:00.1 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Core Processor QuickPath Architecture System Address Decoder (rev 02) ff:02.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Core Processor QPI Link 0 (rev 02) ff:02.1 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Core Processor QPI Physical 0 (rev 02) ff:02.2 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Core Processor Reserved (rev 02) ff:02.3 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Core Processor Reserved (rev 02) [dhaval@gondor ~]$
What gfx driver do you use? Nouveau or the proprietary blob from nvidia?
