Just try the solution I posted here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/159255/comments/7
Remember to make the scripts executable (+x) It works on Hardy 8.04, 64bit, on my Vostro 1000. You'll see the onscreen brightness indicator level up or level down when you increase or decrease your brightness level through fn+up / fn+down. If you add the Brightness Applet to the upper panel, the slider won't influence the brightness level, as this also still doesn't seem to be working. Try it, it'll work. BTW: I've got magnificent battery life on Hardy 8.04! -- Brightness Control doesn't work on Dell Vostro 1000 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/159255 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
