Title:
  [Asus Eee PC X101CH] Display brightness is always 0 and the screen is
  hardly readble after boot

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  After boot, display brightness is always 0 and the screen is hardly readable.
  cat /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness -> 7
  cat /sys/class/backlight/psb-bl/brightness -> 0

  Workadound

  To fix the system brightness, open the terminal application and run
  these commands:

  sudo -s
  [enter your password]
  echo 80 > /sys/class/backlight/psb-bl/brightness
  exit

  For permentant fix edit /etc/rc.local as root, and add this line
  before the line "exit 0":

  echo 80 > /sys/class/backlight/psb-bl/brightness

  You may use any value from 0 to 100 instead of 80.
