Public bug reported: I have tried both going into the system preferences and using the hardware adjustment ( function key + the left or right arrow key ) It used to work on the older Ubuntu 9.10 version. Please stop dropping the drivers for hardware. Especially for hardware that is barely older than 1 year. I am currently on 10.10 if that is not in the report. If Linux is to gain ground hardware support is crucial. And things like screen brightness is basic, much less printers, webcams, and other peripherals. I am not a advanced user at all. I am just a previous basic windows user trying to both switch to and support Linux.
Thank you and God Bless, Daniel Clem ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10 Package: xorg 1:7.5+6ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.35-22.33-generic 2.6.35.4 Uname: Linux 2.6.35-22-generic i686 Architecture: i386 DRM.card0.DisplayPort.1: status: disconnected enabled: disabled dpms: On modes: edid-base64: DRM.card0.DisplayPort.2: status: disconnected enabled: disabled dpms: On modes: edid-base64: DRM.card0.HDMI_Type_A.1: status: disconnected enabled: disabled dpms: On modes: edid-base64: DRM.card0.LVDS.1: status: connected enabled: enabled dpms: On modes: 1366x768 edid-base64: AP///////wAw5AICAAAAAAATAQOAIxN4Cihll1lUjiceUFQAAAABAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBVh1WxlAAIDAwIDUAWcIQAAAZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA/gBMRyBEaXNwbGF5CiAgAAAA/ABMUDE1NldIMy1UTEExADk= DRM.card0.VGA.1: status: disconnected enabled: disabled dpms: On modes: edid-base64: Date: Thu Oct 14 22:34:57 2010 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Release i386 (20101007) MachineType: Acer Aspire 5810T ProcCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-22-generic root=UUID=a5d2f3c8-1aee-4bae-a1e7-ae42e177b1d8 ro quiet splash ProcEnviron: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: xorg Symptom: display dmi.bios.date: 04/06/2009 dmi.bios.vendor: INSYDE dmi.bios.version: V1.06. dmi.board.asset.tag: Base Board Asset Tag dmi.board.name: Aspire 5810T dmi.board.vendor: Acer dmi.board.version: Base Board Version dmi.chassis.type: 1 dmi.chassis.vendor: Chassis Manufacturer dmi.chassis.version: Chassis Version dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnINSYDE:bvrV1.06.:bd04/06/2009:svnAcer:pnAspire5810T:pvrV1.06.:rvnAcer:rnAspire5810T:rvrBaseBoardVersion:cvnChassisManufacturer:ct1:cvrChassisVersion: dmi.product.name: Aspire 5810T dmi.product.version: V1.06. dmi.sys.vendor: Acer glxinfo: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory system: distro: Ubuntu codename: maverick architecture: i686 kernel: 2.6.35-22-generic ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 maverick performance -- Screen brightness adjustment does not change at all on my Acer Aspire Timeline 5810TZ https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/660917 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
