[bp0 <1239183@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For me, 11.10 doesn't boot to x, but to a terminal. Using the 'startx'
command brings up a normal ubuntu session. The backlight works in this
version, but the brightness buttons don't and I couldn't immediately see
where to change brightness so couldn't test if the screen just had one
brightness setting or if it is controllable.

I guess kernel bisecting would need to start from 11.10 then, but I have
to admit that I don't know how to do this, especially from a liveUSB.

Title:
  8086:0a16 [Acer Aspire V5-573G] Black screen on boot due to low
  brightness setting

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On boot, following the bios screen and grub screen to choose ubuntu,
  the screen goes completely black, but the fn-arrow keys can be used to
  turn the backlight up. This is on Asus Aspire V5 573G. I believe this
  is a duplicate of bug #1224415 but I was told explicitly to file a
  separate bug (see
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1224415/comments/11)
