Hi Christopher,

I have just updated BIOS version to F.50 :

ahmety@ahmeylnx:~$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
68SVD Ver. F.50
08/04/2014

Nothing is changed. (Fn+bright increase),(Fn+bright decrease)

is not working. I am pretty sure that it was working before nvidia driver 304

Hi Christopher,

Because after the installation of 15.04, I can not pass following screening (ubuntu phone) which I have attached to the ticket. Therefore I am not able to check it on 15.04.

ahmet yıldırım, this is not In Progress as defined in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Status .

Despite this, if you use nouveau, is this still reproducible?
