Description Rafał Miłecki 2009-10-17 08:30:39 UTC 
Starting from 392a13923eb4d44a8bdb204922230e126b188fae I can not set Backlight for my PANEL:

> xrandr --output PANEL --set Backlight 150
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  150 (RANDR)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  13 (RRChangeOutputProperty)
  Value in failed request:  0x3c
  Serial number of failed request:  28
  Current serial number in output stream:  29

Please report the output of 'xrandr --props'
Comment 2 Rafał Miłecki 2009-10-19 06:17:05 UTC 
Using f695445b386050de346211baec5e487813187cfd

PANEL connected 1600x900+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 423mm x 238mm
        Backlight: 0 (0x00000000)       range:  (0,255)
        _PanningArea:
        _OutputNumber: 2 (0x00000002)
        ConnectorNumber: 2 (0x00000002)
        ConnectorType:  Panel
        SignalFormat:   LVDS
                supported: LVDS

You may wonder about "0" value. That's due to bug #24617, however controlling works without problem (and reporting backlight level after first change).

Can you provide a verbose log file, please?
Comment 5 Egbert Eich 2009-10-19 08:45:31 UTC 
Found it. Fixed.
commit a838114e998a779ce64b894bf8cc34f93647c001
Author: Egbert Eich <eich@freedesktop.org>

    Fix backlight readout thru AtomBIOS.
    
    The correct value was not read out as 'Set' was called instead of 'Get'.
