It seems that other hardware is also affected. Running Quantal, I don't have backlight control with Nvidia drivers on a MacBook Pro 5, (mid-2009) with NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT.
There is a forum thread discussing missing backlight control with this hardware in Precise: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2042999 It says that it helped to install the nvidia_bl module from the same source as was given here i the Asus bug report in comment #5. Nvidia backlight control worked on this machine for all releases I tried starting in 2009 up to Oneiric. I skipped Precise (where it apparently was broken according to the forum thread), and now found it out of order in Quantal. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1046088 Title: No Brightness Control on ASUS G75VW Notbook To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-updates/+bug/1046088/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
