Re: [Trisquel-users] Acer Aspire laptop too dark

[designer]

The updates installed.  I was embarrased to find that the brightness could be  
adjusted in the settings panel, but the setting only lasts the one session.   
Next boot it comes on darkened, the brighness 'slider' at 0.  I find if the  
brightness is as it should be, mine looks ok at about 60%, if I then boot  
into Windows it is the same. Doesn't his indicate that something is happening  
at the hardware level? It seems to be an issue relating to laptops only, and  
admittedly this is the first time i've installed Linux on anything other than  
a desktop machine.  I've seen this or similar issues in forums elsewhere,  
dating back to 2011.  Users say older kernels did not produce this issue,  
that it appeared somewhere between 2.6 & 3 versions. Not overly concerned  
about a solution, but if one should happen along, i'd like to try to  
implement it.
