i just googled a bit and find out that the only solution to increase or decrease the brightness (in fact i need to decrease it, because it is at 100% all the time) was with these commands:
first : find the device address (here 00:02.0) lspci | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GME Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) second : setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=66 (a value between 00 and FF, where FF is 100%) -- brightness no more working on karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/397617 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
