For the non-tecnically minded could someone please explain exactly what to type or do to:

"add the following to xorg.conf:

Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1"

I have no idea how to add this to the xorg.conf file.

This bug is extremely irritating. When the laptop enters power saving mode and you wake it up from a blank screen the screen is extremely bright and almost unusable even though the screen was dim and had a good screen brightness before powersaving mode.

There are a number of other very dissapointing bugs/ things that are wrong with Ubuntu 12.04 running on my Dell XPS L702X laptop.
