I am only posting that because similar bugs already reported are about
other laptop manufacturers, and because in dapper it DID worked very
well (not on edgy nor feisty)...
description below
I did the official upgrade (via update manager) from kubuntu 6.06 to
6.10, and then to 7.04... (all AMD64)
the problem begun with the update to 6.10 and continues in 7.04,
my notebook is a gateway mx6447
I cannot more set up monitor brightness... in dapper, I did it by pressing Fn
and up/down arrow.... now it does work only when booting up, but not inside
kubuntu. volume setting with Fn and PgUp/PgDn works perfectly. that is
important for me because I work in a place with very variable external light.
In dapper it worked perfectly, in edgy it simply stopped working... in feisty
it does causes some "disturbance" in the display area where in dapper it showed
the bright regulation, but bright does not change, and that "disturbed" display
area (a square in extreme up left corner) has no readable things, only small
coloured squares that appear while I press the briht setting keys...
under K>System Configuration> Display (sorry, it is in Portuguese, maybe names
would vary...), hardware is configured as generical plug and play. there are
SEVERAL Gateway monitors, I do not know if I could check one, but in that case
which one?
in all other aspects display works perfectly.
