I confirm this bug, I also have the EFI booting turn on, and have the brightness issue since kernel 3.8.0-30-generic. https://bugs.launchpad.net/dell-sputnik/+bug/1169376
When I use kernel 3.8.0-29-generic from ubuntu 13.04 in 13.10 I don't have the screen refresh issue or the brightness issue. When I remove the QUIRK_NO_PCH_PWM_ENABLE quirk from my kernel build I get my brightness control back. even in vanilla 3.12.0 kernel. However, the screen refresh issue still exist. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1234546 Title: Plymouth screen refresh is bad when Live USB is started in UEFI mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1234546/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
