Steps to reproduce: $ gnome-display-properties Set "Resolution" to a lower resolution than 1280 x 800. Click "Apply" The resulting backlight is at the lowest setting and two "bars" appears on the left and right side of the screen while the imagine is scaled between them. It appears that the problem is this: [drm:intel_panel_get_max_backlight] *ERROR* fixme: max PWM is zero. From /var/log/kernel.log |
Created attachment 41532 [details] lspci -vvv When changing the resolution of my monitor from the native resolution (1280 x 800) to a smaller resolution, the backlight on my monitor is set to the lowest possible and an error appears in /var/log/errors.log: Dec 23 09:10:47 arch-laptop kernel: [ 1635.188107] [drm:intel_panel_get_max_backlight] *ERROR* fixme: max PWM is zero. The backlight settings are restored correctly and no error appears when changing from a non native resolution to the native resolution. I am running Arch Linux with GNOME on a Gateway MT6707 with an Intel GMA 945 Graphics and the i915 kernel DRM module. I am running the latest git tree kernel using a custom configuration which is attached.
