Christopher, I have always found a workaround, is there still need to boot at another kernel? (Also how to save error report to a file?) My netbook - Asus eeepc 1018p
The WORKAROUND: http://itsfoss.com/fix-brightness-ubuntu-1310/ pen a terminal and create the following configuration file, if it does not exist: touch /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf Now we need to edit this file. You can use any editor be it a terminal one or graphical. sudo gedit /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf Add the following lines to this file: Section "Device" Identifier "card0" Driver "intel" Option "Backlight" "intel_backlight" BusID "PCI:0:2:0" EndSection Save it. Log out and log in back. The brightness control should be working through function keys now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1207487 Title: Brightness Controls work but brightness doesnt change To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1207487/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
