I have dell vostro 3500 and added this line to my /etc/Xorg/xorg.conf Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1"
in Section "device" this solved the issue for me. Theyve changed sth in drivers so this is now needed to control brightness which is pretty stupid but its good to know this :] Hope it helps, cheers -- Brightness Control doesn't work on Dell Vostro 1000 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/159255 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
