xorg.conf
Dual head config, don't think that's important though.

After the brightness down button is pressed. Here the xserver is still
functioning.

After pressing the brightness up button
Here I have pressed the brightness up button. Now the screen is black, but the
xserver is still running. If I continue to press the brightness up button, it
will crash.

One more bit of information: This is in Fedora Core 5. I booted off a Kubuntu Dapper (6.06) cd, and the brightness up/down worked fine. Not sure which driver it was using, though. So I decided I would go to ubuntu, and downloaded Ubuntu Edgy (6.10). Booted off that live cd, and the problem was back! So, at this point I am going to stick with Fedora until there is a fix released, mainly because I doubt dual-head will work in Ubuntu 6.06. Fedora Core 5 is pretty old and it's using a very old i810 driver. If ubuntu is working I suspect it's using a newer driver too. Closing this if it's working on Ubuntu. Feel free to reopen if you try again and have more information with up-to-date drivers. Maybe with FC6. Ah, but here's the catch. It works in 6.06 but not 6.10. And for all I know, 6.06's live cd was using vesa, I didn't check (I should have). 6.10's live cd i.e. the most recent version of ubuntu) didn't work. Perhaps I will try FC6. I'm running Kubuntu 6.10 with my own compiled kernel (2.6.19.2) and this problem still exists. I'm on BIOS version 2.05 (the latest at this time). The following page has some more info--it was recently created by a friend of mine and added to by others: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Problem_with_LCD_brightness_buttons My opinion is this bug should be reopened. What do you guys think? |
