I just upgraded my laptop to Ubuntu 11.10, and whenever I close the lid the backlight goes off.
That would be a good thing, except that when I open the lid the backlight does not come on. This is new with Ubuntu 11.10. I've found some web pages that relate similar symptoms with Linux and various other laptops, but the diagnosed root causes seem to be all over the map, and none of the suggested work-arounds seem to work around the problem for me, except for setting 'nomodeset' in grub which messes up my screen aspect ratio. Anyone have any suggestions? -- Tim Wescott Control systems and communications consulting http://www.wescottdesign.com Land line: 503.631.7815 Cell: 503.349.8432 _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
