Public bug reported: I am a Sony Vaio VPCCW21FX (Nvidia 310M) running Lucid.
After I installed nvidia-bl-dkms 0.16.10 the brightness buttons showed the brightness indicator but I didn't move. Manually writing values to /sys/class/backlight/nvidia_backlight/brightness turn the backlight completely off (the backlight only turned back on after a suspend/resume). Then I copies sony brightness scripts from here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1420341 ... after that, using the brightness buttons on the laptop turned the screen off as well. ** Affects: mactel-support Importance: Undecided Status: New -- nvidia-bl-dkms 0.16.10 Blank screen on brightness change https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/599607 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mactel Support, which is the registrant for Mactel Support.
