Bug Description
When attempting to run Ubuntu or it's variants on an Asus notebook which has an ambient light sensor, the sensor does not work correctly and the screen remains too dim to be productive or truly usable. My particular Asus notebook that is affected by this bug is a model M50Sv.
There are various proposed fixes published on the net, but they all either do not work as described, or they are only temporary and do not carry over ofter re-booting.
This bug essentially makes using Ubuntu and it's variants utterly impractical and unproductive. The eye strain caused by this bug is unbearable.
This bug is accruing on other makes and models of notebooks which incorporate an ambient light sensor as well.
Me too on asus main board. I can provide diagnostics for a developer, if I knew what to provide....
