Patch to resolve missing logic (1.09 KB, patch)

Description Mario Limonciello 2008-12-01 08:13:19 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
The Dell Studio 1535 and 1537 both support reading the brightness via HAL and setting via HAL.  They don't however necessarily support using xrandr.

It appears there is a lack in the logic of GPM 2.24 for handling this case.

Pressing the brightness up or down keys on a 1535 or 1537 results in no OSD popup.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Press brightness up
2. Press brightness down
3. Observe


Actual results:
No popup OSD

Expected results:
Popup OSD

Does this happen every time?
Yes
