Hi Christopher. Apparently the problem is now fixed in the mainline kernel. Even if I test it now with the 3.18 rc7 kernel, it is fixed. The problem is still there if I use the 3.14 kernel, however.
I do not know how this happened. I suspect that after upgrading the bios, I did not check with the 3.18 kernel, and the combination of new bios + new kernel fixed it... 1) Do I email the acpi mailinglist to let them know the problem is fixed? 2) Will this fix ever be backported to the trusty kernel? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1399611 Title: 8086:0046 [Acer Aspire 5742] Screen brightness not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1399611/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
