Hi, Just to follow up. If I follow these instructions in the kernel bug #12021 (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12021) and switch off the acpi (acpi=off) then I can control the up/down brightness. However obviously my battery is no longer detected.
Changing the BIOS setting between "Auto" and "User Controlled" method of controlling screen brightness doesn't make any difference either. According to bug #12021 the bug was fixed with patch in bug 14052 (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14052) "This bug concerns NC10 only and since the code is in the kernel I am closing it. Please try the patch in 14052 for the more general solution." which is apparently fixed in 2.6.32 "The code is in mainline, will be released in 2.6.32." ** Bug watch added: Linux Kernel Bug Tracker #12021 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12021 ** Bug watch added: Linux Kernel Bug Tracker #14052 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14052 -- Samsung NC10 screen brightness up/down function keys do not work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/448885 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
