[Bug 1535470] Re: Backlight brightness keys not working

 

Well, the main purpose of my comment was to give some hints to Ian with
his laptop, in case it could help him, because we have some common
hardware parts...

I can fill a new bug for my case, but what do you mean by "Ubuntu repository kernel"?
Currently, I'm running the 4.6 kernel from ~kernel-ppa/mainline/, which is also (in some way) an Ubuntu repository, isn't it?
Should I switch back to the standard 4.4 kernel from main repository in order to fill my bug?

Title:
  Backlight brightness keys not working

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Originally described in bug 1533221. This is a new bug to track this
  additional issue separately.

  Backlight function keys are not working. I have tried various
  combinations of:

  acpi_osi=! acpi_backlight=vendor
  etc, etc

  with no luck.
