Dan, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number> ** Tags added: latest-bios-3.16 ** Tags removed: kernel-bug-exists-upstream ** Tags added: needs-upstream-testing ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1034222 Title: Backlight out for exactly 10 seconds on boot with Acer D255E Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Backlight goes out for exactly 10 seconds before returning while booting with an Acer AOD255E netbook. This is a backlight issue, as I can shine a flashlight at the screen and still see boot text scrolling (after removing splash and quiet). With "acpi=off" appended to the kernel line, this no longer occurs (Fn key backlight controls still work with this appended). With every other acpi option I have tried, this still occurs though. This includes "acpi_backlight" and "acpi_display_output". With "acpi_backlight=vendor" the entry in /sys/class/backlight changes from acpi_video0 to acer_wmi, but backlight still goes out. Otherwise backlight works correctly. System info is attached.
