Bug Description

Ever since the latest updates as of today, my brightness control has not been working after I restarted the computer, as suggested after the update.

My computer is a HP Pavilion dv6000 series. I think it is a kernel fault because the brightness control works with kernel version 2.6.27-10.20

Hi Adalal,

This is a duplicate of bug 311716 so I am marking it as such. The kernel team is already investigating the issue and working towards a solution. Please continue to track this issue at that report. Thanks.
