Public bug reported: The screen brightness always start with 100% and typing the Fn + F2/F3 keys only makes to appear the pointer on the screen, but doesn't work.
To change the screen brightness, only in the System Configurations – Brightness and Block, “every time that one switch on or restart the notebook”. If one want to change again “ in the same session”, when the application window opens the screen brightness return to 100%. I solve this problem changing the command line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor splash" even thus, at every restart one need to change the brightness, the configuration doesn't hold.
