Yeah, so I can confirm the backlight doesn't work with Ubuntu's proprietary driver (one that it installs with), fglrx, and radeonhd. The problem is that Vista gives me twice the battery life of Ubuntu just because it dims the backlight, Ubuntu is kind of unusable for me unless I am on a charger.
I am a novice when it comes to Ubuntu but I am guessing the problem lies with the hardware not being recognized. If any system commands like libusb or libpci can help you guys, just ask. -- No backlight control on sony laptops with ati gfx card https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/305672 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
