[Bug 1239183] Re: 8086:0a16 [Acer Aspire V5-573G] Black screen on boot due to low brightness setting

 

I've already filed a report at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1245424, therefore my hardware is tracked.
I'am participating on this bug number, because it seems like to be the one with the most activity.

I've build Oneiric and Precise Kernels on my Laptop the last days. For
test purpose I took on of the oldest and the newest Ubuntu-* commit of
the branches. All of them (expect the oldest Precise commit, that causes
no root device found) are booting my laptop with full brightness.

Therefore I'am not shure where the behavior resides. I'am downloading
Quantal Ubuntu kernel git now to test ahead. But this takes a lot of
time.

Tested kernels so far:
3.0.0-13.22 (no root device found)
3.0.0-20.34 (full brigthness, wrong resolution)
3.0.0-32.51 (full brigthness, wrong resolution)
3.1.0-2.3 (full brigthness, wrong resolution)
3.2.0-56.86 (full brigthness, wrong resolution)

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)
