Hmmnn... no repsonse at all I must be in the wrong place. However FWIW here is a work around; there is still 1 bug and one feature that could be fixed.
Tha samsung Q45 comes with 320G of HD split into 2, the idea being that when vista crashes you can re-install everything. So I appropriated D: and installed jaunty (9.04), chaining the grub loader stored on D: (/dev/sda3) to the vista loader on C: (/dev/sda2). (after doing this you only get Vista w/ C:, you need to download and run EasyBCD, which can only be described as idiot proof and a marvelous product to boot. Then, in Ubuntu you add the gnome configuration editor to your applications menu (follow System -> Preferences -> Main Menu). Run that program (Applications -> System Tools -> Configuration Editor). Select apps -> gnome-power-manager -> backlight Set brightness_battery to 100 Set brightness_dim_battery to 0 Set enable to not Exit the program Right click on the top panel and Add something, select the battery applet and choose 'always display an icon'. That's kind of it, except for a little dance after booting: Log in Press Fn CursorDn ... the brightness keepe going down... Press Fn CursorUp ... the brightness keeps going up ... Press Fn CursorRight ... it starts behaving properly (not finished yet) Click on the date/time in the top panel, do it again till the calendar displays Click on it again to hide the calendar Hover over the battery icon till the tooltip shows Click on it to display a menu (now we are finished) Observe that the Gnome menu and keyboard are working again. Ok it's rubbish, but takes very little time and it seems to work afterwards. That's the bug. The Feature is that if you disconnect the power then the 100% brightness-battery is about 70%: anyone got any ideas on this?? -- jaunty on samsung Q45 looses mouse/kdb interface after adjusting brightness https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/366871 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
