Following instructions found in bug #562005, I fixed the problem in Ubuntu 14.04.03 LTS Trusty Thar. Attached, the script which fixes the problem. It only creates the file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-nvidia- proprietary-brigthness-keys-fix.conf if a card that suffers from the problem is detected. Thus for cards without issue, if this script is executed, no change is brought to the system. This makes it pretty safe.
This script should be added to the package that performs the installation of the package. Can someone help me figure out how to do this or want to take the lead from here? ** Attachment added: "Script that fixes the brightness keys for NVIDIA proprietary drivers." https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1389215/+attachment/4488588/+files/nvidia-proprietary-brigthness-keys-fix.sh -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1389215 Title: Brightness controls are not working in Unity / Xorg because of Nvidia proprietary driver.
