[arch-general] xbacklight broken in 3.13
Hi, after update to kernel 3.13, xbacklight fails to adjust the brightness on my Asus EeePc 1015 PX; anyone in the same boat? echoing a number into: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness updates the value as expected, only it doesn't really do anything. Fell back to using the pci method (as described in the wiki) to reduce the glare for the time being. Regards, mih -- 'aware water' is an anagram for 'we are at war'

What 'usual channels' ? Nobody can remove you, you have to do that yourself at the same place you subscribed. (the URL is in the headers of each message on this list). -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia. It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris and hysterically inflated market opportunities. (Cory Doctorow)
That's a very friendly and helpful email - I love your confidence. Oh, and thanks for our help. On 22/02/14 14:19, Fons Adriaensen wrote:

Hi, just wanted to let you know, adding the line: Option "Backlight" "intel_backlight" in: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf has restored the functionality; albeit with an interesting twist: setting the backlight value to 0 now turns the backlight off. cheers, mih
