2010-02-24 16:13:23 Mark Smith description Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager When I use the brightness control keys from a fresh install, the brightness jumps THREE increments. By creating /etc/modprobe.d/video.conf and setting options video brightness_switch_enabled = 0 I reduce this to consistently TWO brightness events, but this is still double the normal events. If I kill gnome-power-manager, it returns to single brightness events. when hitting brightness up/down with gnome-power-manager, udevmonitor shows UDEV - the event which udev sends out after rule processing KERNEL - the kernel uevent KERNEL[1267026969.897008] change /devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0 (backlight) UDEV [1267026969.898270] change /devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0 (backlight) KERNEL[1267026969.903078] change /devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0 (backlight) UDEV [1267026969.903842] change /devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0 (backlight) KERNEL[1267026971.355970] change /devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0 (backlight) UDEV [1267026971.357418] change /devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0 (backlight) with gnome-power-manager not running, it shows no events.
