By sheer coincidence (what are the odds?), I happen to have 2 optically identical HP G62's, one with a Intel-card and one equipped with ATI. Both suffer from the same brightness problem, very weird indeed. The remark of Ian at #10 might be correct: maybe the drivers are mixed up, in a way neither of the gfx's work.
As I happen to have both machines at the same time (they are from people who asks me to put Ubuntu on it), I can do tests on both machines, which could help in solving this bug. I'm looking forward to any suggestion. I post the exact specs later, when I have them on hand. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/873191 Title: Ubuntu starts with lowest brightness on HP G62[regression] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/873191/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
