For me, 11.10 doesn't boot to x, but to a terminal. Using the 'startx' command brings up a normal ubuntu session. The backlight works in this version, but the brightness buttons don't and I couldn't immediately see where to change brightness so couldn't test if the screen just had one brightness setting or if it is controllable.
I guess kernel bisecting would need to start from 11.10 then, but I have to admit that I don't know how to do this, especially from a liveUSB. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1239183 Title: 8086:0a16 [Acer Aspire V5-573G] Black screen on boot due to low brightness setting To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1239183/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
