I think I have just found something better. Add this ppa: https://launchpad.net/~kamalmostafa/+archive/linux-kamal-mjgbacklight to your sources e.g. with: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:kamalmostafa/linux-kamal-mjgbacklight then reload the package information and upgrade your system (e.g. with synaptic)
This should give you a new kernel and gnome-power-manager. Shut down and boot. For my system this kernel gives me full hotkey backlight control. I hope it works for you too. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/773740 Title: 11.04 --DARK SCREEN--Need a lamp to see -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
