Bug Description
Hi
I have just installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on my Medion Akoya P6613
It has an Intel i3 390m and a NVIDIA geforce GT 540m
When I change the brightness with the FN keys the brightness window pops up and also changes but the actual brightness of the display does not change. How can I fix this problem?
What I have already done is checking for updates and following the instructions in this post: https:/
but it didn't help
could it be possible that it is a problem with the graphics card and if so, how can i possibly fix it?
Michael
after some help by community members i installed bumblebee and also changed the settings, but it did not help.
