Bug Description
Hello there,
I have a HP Pavilion DV2385EA with a Nvidia Go 7200.
When using the nvidia driver, the brightness applet appears disabled which is fair enough (I assume the support is not available in this driver?), but it does nothing apparent. There is no flickering or display adjustment, neither any error message displayed.
FWIW, the smartdimmer program is not able to adjust the brightness. Also the brightness adjustment keys on the laptop do nothing (Fn+F7,F8).
I'm running up to date Feisty (kernel is currently 2.6.20-14-generic)
Thanks a lot,
Francisco Maia

Other users have encountered this bug, after bringing the BIOS to the most recent version, and there is a work-around, but it didn't work for me. http:// ubuntuforums. org/showthread. php?t=500516& highlight= dv2000+ brightness
