I have same problem here with my Samsung R70 Aura I have tested following things
1. In a xterm: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/proc/acpi/video/NVID/LCD # cat brightness levels: 10 30 40 50 60 70 80 100 current: 100 2. After this 2 times „FN+Arrow down“ -> no visible changes to lcd-brightness Again in xterm: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/proc/acpi/video/NVID/LCD # cat brightness levels: 10 30 40 50 60 70 80 100 current: 70 3. Changed to console 4.1.1 Press "FN+arrow down" again -> LCD becomes very dark about 60% of before. 4.1.2 Control the brightness in console [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/proc/acpi/video/NVID/LCD # cat brightness levels: 10 30 40 50 60 70 80 100 current: 60 4.1.3 Change back to X-Server brigthness although changed to 60% Repeat steps 1-3: 4.2.1 Press "FN+arrow up" -> LCD becomes a bit darker about 80% of before. 4.2.2 Control the brightness in console [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/proc/acpi/video/NVID/LCD # cat brightness levels: 10 30 40 50 60 70 80 100 current: 80 4.2.3 Change back to X-Server brigthness although changed to 80% As a conclusion it seems that the FN-keys doing everything right but x-server or card-driver ("nvidia") are not reacting correctly to the values inside /proc/acpi/video/NVID/LCD/brightness -- backlight brighness control does not work (Samsung Q45 with Nvidia GForce 8400M) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146710 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
