Bug Description
I've been trying to get this problem fixed for about 3 days and nobody knows how to fix this. Hopefully you can help me. My brightness won't do anything but be REALLY REALLY dark, and be averagely dim, and I can toggle this by hitting fn+f7. Normally, like on Vista (if you can call that normal) fn+f6 or fn+f5 would toggle my brightness. ALL of my other function keys (volume, media, toggle scr lk, etc.) are working. So it's weird. I know someone else has this problem but aren't being as annoying about it as I am.
What I have already tried:
-gamma control with "displaycalibrator"
-the tutorial "howto" here: http://
-The "ugly hack" described in http://
^ Im not sure why that doesn't work, it just doesn't...
-One thing I'd like to try (it seemed bright, but I was in a bright room) was I entered the gnome power management config(I forgot the command! It's something like gkconfig?) So I need to be reminded of that enter-gnomeconf
-The brightness applet on the panel does nothing.
- I was suggested on ubuntuforums to do the following:
CODE
iago@NISUS:~$ echo 'for i in /sys/class/
iago@NISUS:~$
iago@NISUS:~$ chmod +x brightness
iago@NISUS:~$
iago@NISUS:~$ sudo ./brightness
iago@NISUS:~$ brightness
/usr/local/
/usr/local/
Brightness set to
iago@NISUS:~$ sudo brightness
Brightness set to
iago@NISUS:~$ sudo brightness 10
Brightness set to 10
iago@NISUS:~$ sudo brightness 1
Brightness set to 1
iago@NISUS:~$ sudo brightness 1000
Brightness set to 1000
iago@NISUS:~$
iago@NISUS:~$
CODE
And it doesn't change my brightness. Secondly, one problem with what the previous guy gave me is there is no /sys/class/
-I found an application called "monitor settings" but it doesnt work. It gives me the following error: "No monitor supporting DDC/CI available. If your graphics card need it, please check all the required kernel modules are loaded (12c-dev, and your framebuffer driver).
-I am getting nauseous, I have to strain to read the screen because it's so dark
