I can confirm the 3.6 kernel does not fix the problem, though I didn't have any of the other problems described in post #48.
Instead of the current Ubuntu 12.10 live DVD, the screen doesn't freeze, but shows the behaviour in the video previously posted. It also seemed as if a more 'agressive' change of brightness was necessary to trigger the bug (quickly increasing and decreasing the brightness). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1007765 Title: brightness adjusting crashes system To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/1007765/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
