Is it only the brightness keys on your keyboard that stopped working?

Does the slider in the top right system menu still work?

[Rohit (rohit110)]

installed in Vaio vpceh25en having Nvidia Geforce 410M and brightness controller not working neither from slider nor from the keyboard. Also, the display looks dull and pixelated.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
