I've already filed a report at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1245424, therefore my hardware is tracked. I'am participating on this bug number, because it seems like to be the one with the most activity.
I've build Oneiric and Precise Kernels on my Laptop the last days. For test purpose I took on of the oldest and the newest Ubuntu-* commit of the branches. All of them (expect the oldest Precise commit, that causes no root device found) are booting my laptop with full brightness. Therefore I'am not shure where the behavior resides. I'am downloading Quantal Ubuntu kernel git now to test ahead. But this takes a lot of time. Tested kernels so far: 3.0.0-13.22 (no root device found) 3.0.0-20.34 (full brigthness, wrong resolution) 3.0.0-32.51 (full brigthness, wrong resolution) 3.1.0-2.3 (full brigthness, wrong resolution) 3.2.0-56.86 (full brigthness, wrong resolution) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1239183 Title: 8086:0a16 [Acer Aspire V5-573G] Black screen on boot due to low brightness setting To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1239183/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
