I can confirm this bug. I have the same laptop with Ubuntu 10.10 fully updated and it doesn't work. I tried the fix above but it doesn't work for me.
I installed linux 2.6.37 and the bug persists. I will try using a Natty live session to see if this persists in the latest image. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/693942 Title: Acer Aspire 5742Z No Screen Brightness Control -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
