[Bug 1208257] Re: HP ProBook 4540s brightness control problems

 

apport information

** Tags added: apport-collected raring

** Description changed:

  I bought a laptop in December 2012, immediately tried to put Ubuntu
  12.10, got broken wi-fi and non-working graphics acceleration. Updated
  kernel to version 3.6, with graphic acceleration was all right, even
  partially earned wi-fi. After some time wi-fi hang, helped only restart
  the network subsystem.
  
  Updated kernel to 3.7, with the wi-fi was all became normal, but stopped
  working brightness control with the Fn keys. Progress bar indicates that
  the brightness changes, but in fact nothing happens.
  
  Tried the new distribution 13.04, on 3.8 kernels, 3.9, 3.10, nothing
  changes. Upon adjustment has broken in 3.7 kernel. It turns out that
  this is a regression.
