Unable to change brightness after kernel upgrade: Sams. R540
Posted: 11 Nov 2012, 14:31
After my last update, I'm unable to change the backlight. I've previously installed samsung-tools 2.16 from the AUR and added
acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor
to /etc/default/grub. I am using the kernel version 3.6.6.1.
There have also been some other problems with glib and glibc. I am also using mate, and the thumbnailer caused 100% memory load. I downgraded them and the problem is solved, but I still can't change the brightness.
Any help is appreciated
Here is the log of my last upgrade
