Carlos Calderari Peñaranda, this bug was reported a while ago and there
hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is
still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest
development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.12-rc7

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  Intel GMA 4500 Kernel problem

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  As in Ubuntu 11.04, when trying to install or run live session in
  ubuntu 11.10 in my laptop (acer aspire 5736z) with intel gma 4500m
  graphic card, it's impossible to see anything on the screen because
  the bright turns off and it isn't possible to turn it on with FN keys.
  If adding acpi_osi=Linux on boot sequence, it works (not completely
  fine, but it works), but you have to turn bright on every time you
  turn your computer on. I think it could be fixed, because this graphic
  card is built in lots of computers and we're not able to use ubuntu
  due to that problem with latest kernel version.
