 |
|
Hi
My laptop always configures backlight at 100% in firmware. It used to fall back to a stored value (40-50%) when systemd kicks in. It does no longer.
Ah-hoc brightness control works fine. There is a saved value in
| Code: |
anton@r9-008cln ~ $ cat /var/lib/systemd/backlight/pci-0000\:00\:02.0\:backlight\:intel_backlight
1786
|
| Code: |
anton@r9-008cln ~ $ sudo /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-backlight load backlight:intel_backlight
|
does restore brightness to a desired level.
I wonder why it doesn't happen at boot.
I use | Code: | | BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.11.9-ck-zfs video.use_native_backlight=1 root=ZFS init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd |
intel_backlight is the only backlight control class available:
| Code: | ls -l /sys/class/backlight/
итого 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 июл 14 08:33 intel_backlight -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/card0-eDP-1/intel_backlight

Have you try replacing "video.use_native_backlight=1" by "acpi_backlight=......."?
According to the wiki
| Quote: | | On kernels >= 4.2, the video.use_native_backlight option is no longer available.[8] You should use one of the following instead (experiment to see which works on your system): |

It didn't help. 
I can control my brightness, it is saved at shutdown, but it is not restored at boot. |

Can you post
| Code: | | systemctl list-units | grep systemd-backlight |
+
| Code: | | journalctl | grep backlight |
+
| Code: | | systemctl status "the find before" |

Got a similar issue (dark backlight) since a kernel upgrade long time ago. Nothing helped (I'm using openrc).
"Solved" it by executing
| Code: | | echo 4882 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness |
in the initramfs. |

I digged more....
All backlight related services are not 'enableable'. The unit file has no WantedBy. it means that one can't 'systemctl enable' them. They are auto-activated by udev rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/99-systemd.rules
| Code: |
...
# Pull in backlight save/restore for all backlight devices and
# keyboard backlights
SUBSYSTEM=="backlight", TAG+="systemd", IMPORT{builtin}="path_id", ENV{SYSTEMD_WANTS}+="systemd-backlight@backlight:$name.service"
SUBSYSTEM=="leds", KERNEL=="*kbd_backlight", TAG+="systemd", IMPORT{builtin}="path_id", ENV{SYSTEMD_WANTS}+="systemd-backlight@leds:$name.service"
...
|
When my laptop boots normally, only the keyboard backlight is detected:
| Code: |
systemd-backlight@leds:tpacpi::kbd_backlight.service loaded active exited Load/Save Screen Backlight Brightness of leds:tpacpi::kbd_backlight
|
When I issued udevadm test /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight, all of a sudden:
| Code: |
r9-008cln ~ # systemctl list-units | grep -i backlight
sys-devices-pci0000:00-0000:00:02.0-drm-card0-card0\x2deDP\x2d1-intel_backlight.device loaded active plugged /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/card0-eDP-1/intel_backlight

I do have intel driver compiled in the kernel. (as I had since don't remember when). The last modification time for the saved value for intel-backlight is June 20th 2017. My emerge history stops at Jul the 1st. I can't check if I upgraded systemd at that time. It clearly seems a systemd bug, that it misses this udev event for the backlight driver compiled in. |

It shows that the rule works as expeceted in test mode. It doesn't when the system boots.
Any hints anyone? |

After trying different options, I could restore working of my brightness save/restore functionality.
All it took was to compile the intel graphics driver as a module (i915). It immediately caused the correct service to appear. (Asterisk marking below is mine)
