[Nouveau] [Bug 26756] New: Cannot alter brightness as normal user
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26756 Summary: Cannot alter brightness as normal user Product: xorg Version: 7.4 Platform: x86-64 (AMD64) OS/Version: Linux (All) Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: Driver/nouveau AssignedTo: nouveau at lists.freedesktop.org ReportedBy: r.spliet at student.tudelft.nl QAContact: xorg-team at lists.x.org As a normal user using nouveau I cannot alter the screen brightness of my laptop. Not using the function keys, not echo'ing the desired value to /proc/acpi/video/VGA1/LCDD/brightness. I can however become root with su, and then echo the desired value to this procfs node. ls -alz shows: -rw-r--r--. root root system_u:object_r:proc_t:s0 brightness When I use Intel graphics on the exact same hardware (hybrid graphics - BIOS option), I can use the function keys for altering brightness. Hardware: Asus UL50Vg with hybrid graphics (Intel intergrated/Geforce G210M). OS: Fedora 12, all updates installed. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
