Gconf key for battery brightness labeled incorrectly...
Last modified: 2008-06-30 10:51:59 UTC
In gnome-power-manager 2.20.0, the gconf key for the battery brightness reduction percentage is labeled as such: "The brightness of the display when on battery power. Possible values are between 0 and 100." This is, of course, wrong, as setting this to 100 results in the brightness being reduced to minimum on battery. The name of the key, brightness_battery, is also a similar misnomer. Either the key/description should be changed, or this should be changed to an actual battery brightness value as opposed to a reduction percentage.
Ahh, the description is wrong. Could you russle up a patch for the schema explaining that it's a reduction and then I'll commit that. Thanks.
Hello, 1) I hate all these brightness related bugs, especially since they represent a regression. 2) There are several bugs that overlap(#478128, #483134, #483143, #509211) ; IMHO, there should be ONLY ONE I have reported this in Debian bug #467264 and I explained why the current (and former) behaviour is(was) wrong and how they should actually behave. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=467264 To summarize: - AC and battery settings MUST not interact with each other - the battery *brightness*slider* should be *brought*back* (one should be able to set the default battery brightness level, no matter what automatic dimming effect is added) - dimming on idle should *really*dim*or*do*nothing*, if dimming is not possible; is should NEVER bright up the display - using the *brightness* *keys* should be a clear adjustment of the default brightness level and it should *always* have precedence over anything automatically computed or commanded - DO NOT DIM WHILE ACTIVE If anyone cares, here is the summary I made in the debian bug report: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=467264#33
Sorry, the entire list of bug was: bug #478128, bug #483134, bug #483143, bug #509211, bug #530346, bug #335673 and bug #483144
