HI Neil, Glancing through your dmesg output I see the following interesting error:
[ 1.984281] ACPI Error: Current brightness invalid 20090521 video-538 This looks like it might be a duplicate of bug 428910 which a patch was recently committed to hopefully renable brightness control. The patch should be available for testing with the latest 2.6.31-11.38 kernel. If you can please test this latest kernel and let us know your results. You can confirm the version of the kernel you are running by looking at the output of 'cat /proc/version_signature'. Thanks! ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- ACPI: Failed to switch the brightness https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/434822 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
