Hello all, After going a bit grey, I found that /sys/class/backlight/toshiba breaks after suspend, but /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight continues to function ('echo $number > backlight' after resume from suspend). Some great folks over at Arch have figured this one out. I have a Toshiba Portege R705, and this does the trick:
Source: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel_Graphics#Backlight_not_fully_adjusting.2C_or_adjusting_at_all_after_resume. Adapting this for Ubuntu 13.04: 1) sudo vi /etc/default/grub 2) change the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT as follows: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_backlight=vendor" 3) sudo update-grub 4) Configure X11 to use the intel_backlight. Create a file called 20-intel.conf here: sudo vi /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf 5) Paste in the following: Section "Device" Identifier "card0" Driver "intel" Option "Backlight" "intel_backlight" BusID "PCI:0:2:0" EndSection 6) Reboot and bask in glorious brightness control. Suspend/resume and it continues to function normally from the Fn-F6/F7 keys. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/934095 Title: Backlight control does not work correctly on Toshiba Satellite L750-17P.
