Good decision, fglrx consistently crashed my x-server in Alpha and Beta. I was thinking the same thing as you, so I turned it back on to test the brightness issue. (While fglrx doesnt crash the x-server anymore, it's still got problems, I'm going to stick with the free one for now.)
Either way, the brightness issue remains with both drivers. Hope this helps. -- Cannot adjust brightness in Lucid Lynx https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/555122 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
