Title:
[Dell Vostro 5470] Unable to control brightness
Status in HWE Next Project:
Confirmed
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
CID: 201307-14037 Vostro 5470
Brightness control does not work on this system
The brightness level indicator would change with hotkey events, but the
brightness itself does not.
There is a simliar bug reported before, bug 1333638 for 201307-14038,
another Vostro 5470, but the brightness control works on that system
because it has a discrete video card. For this UMA system, it doesn't
work.
== WORKAROUND ==
Brightness would work with "acpi_osi=\"!Windows 2012\"" added to grub.
Also verified on 201307-14038, this workaround won't affect its brightness
control capability.
