I have had this issue and its been doing my head in. made ubuntu look bad, yknow?
I'm on 11.04(natty); anyway, here's this: [bash] billy@UnKn0wN:~$ uname -a Linux UnKn0wN 2.6.38-13-generic #53+kamal4~mjgbacklight5-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 6 01:45:53 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [bash] after upgrading to the kernel suggested by Wolfgang Kufner (cheers amigo), the screen still goes blank on regular login(I used to be able to use classic or safe mode or no effects modes to get in, but as soon as i closed the screen- or it timed out - i couldn't get it back. now for the funny part(well, i think it is, anyway...)......... when i login as per normal its blank. now, while this has been happening i have noticed it is just the LCD backlight as with the right light conditions in the room, one could see the system there, just no backlight and well...i wish i had LEDs lol. ANYWAY. funny part is, instead of turning my brightness UP( FN + >R>Arrow>), I need to turn it down. weird, eh? anyways...I'm just about to check if timeouts or if i close the screen over still bugger it up. will repost just as soon as ive done so. and had a cigarette cause the stress is killin me roflmfaojkplzkthx. If you don't hear back from me it means I've thrown my lappy out the window, or into the fire. or smacked santa over the head with it and stole all the prezzies hehehehehehehehehe Swedger420 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/773471 Title: No brightness on LCD monitor (Acer Aspire 5732Z) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/773471/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
