HI Leann Ogasawara, thanks for you help. I am now on Ubuntu 8.10 "Intrepid Ibex" Beta (Released October 2nd, 2008) liveCD, so the tests refers on that system.
setting the brightness via System->Preferences->Power Management works very well. At this point I think it is a problem with the Fn keys of the notebook and not a problem with the brightness control per se. There is a think I did not mention before (sorry): when I unplug the power line, and I go by battery, the brightness lower. So I assume is a Fn issue. The point is that in Ubuntu 7 there were no problem with the Fn keys so I thought it would be a simple issue! I have done the test to see what model I own: sudo dmidecode -s system-manufacturer sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name sudo dmidecode -s system-version and here is the answer: FUJITSU SIEMENS AMILO Li 2732 20 if I press the Fn+F8 and Fn+F9 buttons, which should control the brightness, I got this output from dmesg. (full dmesg log added as attachment) [ 1427.356178] atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xd9 on isa0060/serio0).
