I'm sorry but I'm not sure I fully understand the instructions... I'm
really bad at computing :(

So just to make sure... I have to download this one:

linux-headers-3.18.0-031800rc5-generic_3.18.0-031800rc5.201411162035_amd64.deb
<http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.18-rc5-vivid/linux-headers-3.18.0-031800rc5-generic_3.18.0-031800rc5.201411162035_amd64.deb>
then install it with " sudo dpkg -i "

and that's it ?

Or do I have to install
linux-image-3.18.0-031800rc5-generic_3.18.0-031800rc5.201411162035_amd64.deb
<http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.18-rc5-vivid/linux-image-3.18.0-031800rc5-generic_3.18.0-031800rc5.201411162035_amd64.deb>
as well ...?


I managed to change the brightness thanks to Xcaliber, but I'd like to fix
this problem anyway...


Thanks in advance,

Martin
