2014-05-11 11:28:56 Jeremie Tamburini description (Fujitsu Lifebook A512 - Ubuntu 14.04 - Linux 3.13.0-24-generic x86_64) Pressing Fn+F6 or Fn+F7 the brightness doesn't change. WORKAROUND (found here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2192471) 1) The command: for i in /sys/class/backlight/*; do echo $i;cat $i/brightness;cat $i/max_brightness;done shows this output: /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0 1 100 /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight 4882 4882 2) Then I've created the /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf file to set the "intel_backlight" interfece, with the following lines: Section "Device" Identifier "card0" Driver "intel" Option "Backlight" "intel_backlight" BusID "PCI:0:2:0" EndSection This makes the brightness shortcuts Fn+F6 and Fn+F7 work. EXTRA INFOS - I run "ubuntu-bug linux" on a new installation of the 14.04 in order to get informations of the original setup of the system. The workaround has been tried on another 14.04 installation on the same computer. - I didn't install any extra packages. Everything we need to make the hot keys Fn+F6/Fn+F7 work is already in the system. It seems to be a "setup problem".. maybe related to backlight or xorg.. - The lines in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf are just a copy/paste taken from the ubuntuforums.org topic. I've just tried to use it and luckily it worked.
