Public bug reported: The function keys that are supposed to control the HP G7000 series laptop's screen brightness do not work. The screen brightness is set automatically to its maximum. All the other function keys work. The problem started after the upgrade to 8.04 from 7.10. I need to mention here that in Ubuntu Gutsy, the keys seemed to work fine.
Perhaps its an acpi problem? Is there any patch or module(?) available? Also, something to mention, the Monitor settings app shows this message: No monitor supporting DDC/IC available. If your graphics card need it, please check all the required kernel modules are loaded (i2c-dev, and your framebuffer driver. I don't know though if this has anything to do with this problem. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- [HP G7000 - Hardy] function keys for screen brightness don't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220435 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
