Comment 0 for bug 1183856

FN-Keys don't work for me on my Thinkpad T430.

When i'm on battery mode the screen does not dim down to save power, even with the workaround.

The problem exists since the release of Ubuntu 13.04

My actual Kernel: 3.8.0-22-generic

For the T430s the problem seems to be fixed: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1098216

WORKAROUND:

Add to /etc/default/grub
in the variable "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT":

acpi_osi=\"!Windows 2012\"

e.g:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_osi=\"!Windows 2012\""

Then run "sudo update-grub".
