Description:

After last kernel upgrade where Intel video KMS was enabled by default, brightness control via hotkeys on my laptop is broken.

Disable KMS by setting "options i915 modeset=0" in modprobe.conf fixes this issue (brightness control via hotkeys is ok).



Additional info:

* package version(s)

kernel26 2.6.32.2-2
xorg-server 1.7.3.902-1
gnome-power-manager 2.28.2-1

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)


* config and/or log files etc.

no xorg.conf, kernel settings is default


Steps to reproduce: always reproducing

How to temporary fix:

/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf:
options i915 modeset=0
This task depends upon

please report this to kernel developers,
this is the right way to solve the problem.

Isn't this an upstream bug ?

I've got the same problem, but with fedora.
