Hey jazz41408, Thanks for your interest in Ubuntu. Thanks for testing maverick during its development period. Unfortunately it looks like this bug report didn't get attention during the maverick development period. But I see there's not been more comments on the bug since the release, which

(seems like i'm just talking to myself...) Tried hooking up external monitor and booting from kernel 2.6.35-27 .. worked fine. laptop display shows, external monitor display shows. close lid, suspend, open lid, resume, everything still fine. BUT .. remove the external monitor (while still

Latest kernel update to 2.6.35-27 still has same issue .. is anyone seeing this issue? Four kernel upgrades have occurred since the NV79 Backlight power off issue has been logged? Is this the wrong forum for these issues?? I would like to use the later kernels but cannot because the LIGHTS ARE OFF

further update on that work-around: works as long as laptop doesn't become suspend or idle .. (or closing the lid). after that, reverts back to backlight off when linux is restored. can't figure out a way around that one (sigh). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of

weird but effective workaround: Do this in a working displayable kernel (for me: 2.6.32-27): system preferences power management On AC Power tab; DISPLAY section: set display brightness to: change from 100% to 85%. then reboot to kernel 2.6.35-24 .. and the backlight is on and everything

I have the same problem upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 on my Gateway NV79. Booting with kernel 2.6.35-24 has this problem. Booting with 2.6.32.27 (the previous kernel for 10.04?) at least gets me back to a working display. Here's a description of when the issue occurs during booting: At first,

here's some further information from kern.log .. I believe that the message appearing just before back light is turned off, is starred below: Jan 16 20:10:02 uziwa kernel: [ 18.059419] intel ips :00:1f.6: Warning: CPU TDP doesn't match expected value (found 25, expected 35) Jan 16
