Bug Description
I am using an Acer Aspire 5734z-4512. The report will show that I'm using a previous kernel version. I upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04...and right before that ubuntu logo came up, BOOM, there goes my backlight...tried a few things with the flashlight...but to no avail...actually installed the package gnome in synaptics by flashlight, thinking maybe if I get my old environment back, it'd work...well, so I logged out, and nothing, restarted and used previous kernel version and it worked... My grub screen looked totally different though...had a sun and everything, so I think one of those 88 packages that came with the gnome package installed some stuff with it. I'll be trying with the regular new kernel to see if it works because of installing that package....but I doubt it. I wouldn't mind some sort of fix for this...it was kinda disappointing...

Yeah, I removed those 88 packages after identifying them in synaptics....was fun copying and pasting into gedit...now called texteditor...

That's what it installed with the package gnome. After removing and testing, it made no difference. The only difference I see if that the previous kernel I got from 10.10 is working and the newer one is not....and my brightness control shows an indicator, but doesn't do anything... I don't have to report that as a separate issue, do I?
