Powerdevil/PowerControl Issue - Dim - Brightness

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

Upon reboot brightness is at lowest setting and can’t be adjusted with the PowerControl applet in the systray or the main Power Control in Sys Settings.

I can bring 100% brightness back, only with the brightness Fn combo on my laptop. Although brightness is at 100%. Power Control in sys tray still shows at MIN brightness setting (far left).
Power Control in Sys settings is at 100% though.

Here’s a screen from when I did the bug report

Although I don’t have a problem with brightness at reboot, the lack of control via systray applet is familiar. Thats how its been for me with KDE4.2.4 (and version prior) with my ThinkPad. I have only ever been able to use the Fn keys to control brightness.

This is 11.2 deano.
On 11.1 mine was spot on.

It’s not causing me much grief ATM.

Following a dup to RC2 last night, I decided to seek a resolution to this issue as it was remaining following the dup.
I decided I would delete the Desktop kernel and try default.

It was that simple.

Now it’s working perfectly.:slight_smile:
