I have some question for you... Do you use the opensource drivers or the Catalyst ? I'm on latest catalyst-test from vi0lo and STILL there isn't no backlight support .-.
And, are your AC properly recognized ? I'm on 3.8.2-ck and the AC bug on my laptop is still here, upower doesn't see the AC status change... And did you see a overall performance decreasing when you are on AC ? Such as gnome lagging etc etc...
I mailed AMD several times but no reply. I hate AMD poor support.
Edit : Little tip, the CPU on this APU for some reason has 2 pstates locked.. You can unlock them and set the frequecies of 2300Mhz and 2600 Mhz with TurionPowerControl
]]>Have you a 'file' called /sys/class/power_supply/AC/online ??
When you attach the charger, does that file contain '1' , and when disconnected, is it a '0' ?
Thank you for the reply !
However, just checked and I don't have this file, instead of this under my /sys/class/power_supply I have two folder : ADP1 and BAT1. Doing cat cat /sys/class/power_supply/ADP1/online it recognize the charger, because when I'm connected to AC the value is 1, when I'm disconnected is 0 ! Now I think that the problem should be the gnome applet :\

I've installed Arch Linux on a samsung np535u3c laptop (AMD A6-4455 APU) and I'm experiencing some weird issues. I'm currently on linux 3.7.1-ck compiled from aur with piledriver optimization and BFQ enabled. I'm using vi0l0's catalyst-total from the aur.
The first strange things is that GNOME 3.6.2 doesn't recognize when I plug the charger in. The battery charge, but for GNOME is like I'm running on battery. To let Gnome recognize the charger I should reboot the laptop. Same thing if I unplug the charger I have to reboot again to let Gnome recognize the fact that I' running on battery.
And the very weirdy thing is that : if I plug the charger every start to lag and the overral system is slow, if I unplug the charger everything is smoothy.
I don't know if it's fault of the kernel or of Gnome, how I can investigate for this issue ?
The second very weird things is that when I plug the charger, the fan start to run at max speed, even if the laptop is in idle. Then after a while the fan run at minum speed, but when I unplug the charger the fan stop to run O_O
The third and last strange thing is that I'm unable to change the backlight trought gnome backlight panel. I could only turn on or turn of the backlight trought the hotkeys but I can't change it to a X value for example. According to the wiki I've also added acpi_osi=Linux , acpi_backlight=vendor switch to grub but nothing is changed.
Thanks in advice for the replyes and sorry for my poor English.
