Bug Description
Power Manager Brightness Applet 2.21.1 on Hardy Current Alpha 4Power Manager Brightness Applet 2.21.1 on Hardy Alpha 4 (up-to-date) Intel 32-bit.
Exact message: "cannot get laptop panel brightness"
This message has appeared since first install of Alpha 4. It appears on first boot, reboot, restart of x server, etc.
I can not manage my display brightness using the keyboard, screen or any other method. I do not think the display and the kernel communication?
It seems that my laptop (IBM Lenovo Z60m) is able to change the brightness settings in the Bios HOWEVER once I boot into Linux this program referenced above (Brightness Applet in Gnome) does not properly talk to ACPI, HAL or anything else.
It means that the system does not know, and cannot change, the brightness of the monitor.
