@Christopher M. Penalver: Thanks for closing duplicate bug. I already did the BIOS Update https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1224415
After additional tests (bisecting main versions), I have more information now. I tested all the kernels I build with Kubuntu 13.10. Current status is: Kernel Quantal Quetzal 3.5.0_43.66: Working perfect, full brightness at startup and Fn+ function keys working (commit 7772e0d UBUNTU: Ubuntu-3.5.0-43.66) Kernel Raring Ringtail 3.8.0.33: NOT Working, zero brightness at startup, backlight working, Fn+ function keys working to raise brightness. (commit dd8a621 UBUNTU: Ubuntu-3.8.0-33.48) I'am going to bisect between those to now, but again, my laptop isn't that fast ... :), this might take some days. Or anyone with better ideas? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1239183 Title: 8086:0a16 [Acer Aspire V5-573G] Black screen on boot due to low brightness setting Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: On boot, following the bios screen and grub screen to choose ubuntu, the screen goes completely black, but the fn-arrow keys can be used to turn the backlight up.
