Dear Maintainer,
This package (version 3.13~rc6-1~exp1) is exhibiting some symptoms that
lead me to believe it's buggy, namely:
1: My display manager (GDM) fails to start when the system finishes booting.
2: The Intel graphics driver does not appear to be loaded/used (possibly the
reason for #1). Instead, the driver "Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.3, 128
bits)" is used.
3: For some reason, the brightness controls end up reversed (trying to lower
the brightness raises it, and vice-versa), causing my display to be turned
off rather than turned up to full brightness when the system finishes
booting (possibly also related to #2).
Did you try reproducing this with Linux 3.14?
For your #3, you should try passing i915.invert_brightness=1 to the kernel
when booting (press E in Grub and add this at the end of the "linux" line),
it should solve the problem. I've read somewhere that if your machine requires
this you should report it, but I don't remember where so.
Hope this helps,
Matteo
