[Bug 1173961] Re: [Gateway NV55C] Two backlight interfaces that wont adjust backlight.
I got a failure saying
"The error that the other server returned was: 550 5.7.1 Content-Policy reject msg: The message contains HTML subpart, therefore we consider it SPAM or Outlook Virus. TEXT/PLAIN is accepted.! BF:<H 0>; S1752586Ab3HCWEZ"
Is there a way around it? I just copy and pasted from what I got from my
terminal to an email.

Title:
[Gateway NV55C] Two backlight interfaces that wont adjust backlight.
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I couldn't get the backlight to work after I upgraded to 13.04.
WORKAROUND: The only grub lines that seem to work are these:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_osi="
I tried changing the grub parameters, and after several trys, nothing.
I was asked to run grep . /sys/class/backlight/*/* and got the
results of:
maxo@Dayman:~$ grep . /sys/class/backlight/*/*
/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/actual_brightness:9
/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/bl_power:0

But using the Fn Keys, you can only adjust it a little, like from full
brightness to about half. To add something else, with the other
parameters when I adjust with the Fn Keys, the brightness bubble you
get on the top right of your screen doesn't appear.
