Public bug reported: Brightness controls are not working when the binary Nvidia drivers with version 319 or higher(for example 331).
This running on my HP EliteBook 8560w with a Nvidia Quadro 2000M and a HP DreamColor2 screen. The Brightness keys (FN+F9 and FN+FN10) are doing 'something' in the right corner of the screen the brightness control window does show-up and changes, but the brightness of the screen itself does not. This is a bug which is a long standing one, and Nvidia seems to ignore it :( https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/539462/linux/-nvidia-319-12-brightness-controls-not-working-on-laptop-ubuntu-13-03-/2/ There is the bugreport at the official Nvidia forums. Also another bugreport here on Launchpad can be found here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-319/+bug/1241745 Would be great if Nvidia did put some effort in this!
