Description of problem: The brightness keys seem transposed in a weird way. Fn+Left or Right arrow (the brightness hotkeys for this laptop) yield an unusual behavior. Fn+Left reduces the screen brightness immediately, but then after less than a second increases the brightness meter in Fedora and increases the brightness one step. Fn+Right increases the screen brightness, but lowers the brightness meter and then lowers the brightness one step in Fedora. This results in the brightness both increasing and decreasing with each press of the hotkey, and some really interesting behavior if you hold the hotkeys. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 15 beta How reproducible: Use the brightness hotkeys like you normally would. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Press Fn+Left when brightness is at any level besides maximum. Observe immediate decrease in actual screen brightness, followed shortly by an increase in actual screen brightness and the brightness meter going up one step on the screen. 2. Press Fn+Right when brightness is at any level besides minimum. Observe immediate increase in actual screen brightness, followed shortly by a decrease in actual screen brightness and the brightness meter going down one step on the screen. 3. At maximum brightness level per the indicator on the screen, hold Fn+Left. The actual screen brightness will decrease to minimum, but the indicator on screen will stay at maximum. 4. At minimum brightness level per the indicator on the screen, hold Fn+Right. The actual screen brightness will increase to maximum, but the indicator on the screen will stay at minimum. Actual results: Incorrect and unpredictable brightness changing behavior. Expected results: Normal brightness changing behavior. I believe the left key is supposed to decrease brightness, and the right key is supposed to increase brightness.
What graphic card do you have? attach relevant lspci output. Are you using a free driver from the fedora repositories? Moving the bug to xrog-x11 for now, will move to the relevant driver when I'll know what it is.
Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. Please add drm.debug=0x04 to the kernel command line, restart computer, and attach * your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf, if available), * X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) * output of the dmesg command, and * system log (/var/log/messages) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link above. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.

Am not using anything special, just whatever Fedora installed with.

I apologize for my newness, how do you add the drm.debug-0x04 to the command line? It seems to be a problem with the hotkeys being transposed, since the brightness controls in power options function correctly.
Hold shift while booting (start holding when you see the bios, before the fedora logo). Then, in the GRUB menu, press a. Press space and write drm.debug-0x04 Then press enter. The system will boot. Fetch the requested logs and add those as attachment to this bug. (and there is no need to apologize)

Yeah sorry, it was a typo.
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. 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
