[Bug 176888] Re: Backlight dimming not working in Hardy or Intrepid because of wrong XRandR BACKLIGHT_CONTROL setting

[Michael Doube]

** Description changed:

  Backlight control on Hardy is dependent on xbacklight, for Sony Vaios
  with Intel display adapters.  In intrepid, backlight dimming does not
  require xbacklight and Fn keys are properly mapped. In both scenarios
  running the following command is necessary for the backlight to respond
  to input.
  
  $ xrandr --output LVDS --set BACKLIGHT_CONTROL native
+ 
+ if you are experiencing bug #258920 (backlight oscillates slowly), this
+ option may be more appropriate:
+ 
+ $ xrandr --output LVDS --set BACKLIGHT_CONTROL legacy
  
  Sony Vaio SZ650N, Intel GM965 / GMA X3100, 'intel' driver.
  
  This bug has been duped and unduped a couple of times with no
  improvement despite the mother-dupes being fixed, so I'm making it
  independent again.
