Hello, I recently acquired a Samsung N220 laptop (Intel Atom N450 chip, 10" screen, etc). After some playing around, yesterday I was able to install Debian squeeze on this system and managed to get even wireless working (once I tracked down the firmware required). Sounds works as well.
Unfortunately, none of the "Function" keys work. I don't particularly care about most of them as I can adjust or control things from the shell for most functions that I require. However, there is one thing which I cannot seem to control in any way: I cannot adjust the brightness of the display. The display is stuck at a fairly low level of brightness, suitable only for use in a dark room. Can anybody please suggest what I might be able to try to control the brightness levels? At best, it would be to gain control via the blue function keys but direct commands are fine as well. I can send all appropriate HAL/USB/PCI info but I don't think any of it is relevant. The display controller, just in case, is an Intel Pineview IGC. In case this data point matters, ubuntu's latest version did work in this regard but I cannot determine what was different about that installation. (I prefer Debian to ubuntu for a number of reasons) Thanks, eric -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
