@Dan Thanks for the reply. I'm using Ubuntu Karmic with kubuntu-desktop installed on top. I bricked my first timeline on a BIOS downgrade so I'm not feeling too bold on trying an upgrade. My BIOS (for the 4810t) is 1.10.
@Thomas Add the following to the GRUB_CMD_LINUX_DEFAULT entry in /etc/default/grub: nomodeset acpi_backlight=vendor and then run sudo update-grub on the terminal. This fixed it all in gnome for me and others. On Mon, Nov 16, 2009 at 23:13, Dan LeVasseur <[email protected]> wrote: > What version are you using?
