Răzvan Sandu, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xorg-server REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful. Thank you for your understanding.

Netbook's video card is this: http://h-node.org/videocards/view/en/538 /Intel-Corporation-Cedarview-Integrated-Graphics-Controller--rev-09- The function keys for brightness (Fn + horizontal arrows) APPARENTLY work: they DO present a brightness slider when pressed, but brightness is not decreased/increased when sliding left-right. The upgrade was done in an automatic way (via GUI update manager, who offers a new version of Ubuntu). After some Google searches, the fix presented here, comment no. 9 (adding some parameters to the kernel line while booting) applied, solving the problem: http://askubuntu.com/questions/3841/desktop- doesnt-remember-brightness-settings-after-a-reboot This seems to be an old bug, still unsolved. However, the correct video configuration should be automagically detected at boot, WITHOUT manual user intervention and hacking (this may be a serious stop for non-technical users buying an Ubuntu netbook from consumer stores, especially since Acer is pretty popular).
