[Bug 660917] Screen brightness adjustment does not change at all on my Acer Aspire Timeline 5810TZ

 

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be
reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the stable
release - Oneiric Ocelot. It would help us greatly if you could test
with it so we can work on getting it fixed. You can find out more about
it at http://www.ubuntu.com/download . Thanks again and we appreciate
your help.

Title:
  Screen brightness adjustment does not change at all on my Acer Aspire
  Timeline 5810TZ

Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
    I have tried both going into the system preferences and using the
  hardware adjustment ( function key + the left or right arrow key ) It
  used to work on the older Ubuntu 9.10 version. Please stop dropping
  the drivers for hardware. Especially for hardware that is barely older
  than 1 year. I am currently on 10.10 if that is not in the report. If
  Linux is to gain ground hardware support is crucial. And things like
  screen brightness is basic, much less printers, webcams, and other
  peripherals. I am not a advanced user at all. I am just a previous
  basic windows user trying to both switch to and support Linux.

     Thank you and God Bless, 
         Daniel Clem
