Debian - slow brightness responce on Dell laptop fix
13 Sep 2013On some Dell laptops with gnome3 brightness change takes veeeery long (seconds) and system is choppy in the meantime.
A workaround has been posted on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/828296/comments/5 and is to:
- add
acpi_backlight=vendor
toGRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
option in/etc/default/grub
file (eg.GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet acpi_backlight=vendor"
) - run
$ sudo update-grub
Bug for ubuntu is filed: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/847001
Worked on my Dell e6430.
