Bug description:
When Ubuntu starts up, the back-light is off on my laptop. I can plug
it into an external monitor and the display is fine. I can easily
turn the back-light on with "sudo setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=[HEX]" where
00 is the brightest and FF is off. In past distributions, the GUI-
based brightness utilities did not work and I used this command to
change by back-light brightness. I know that there are many people
who can not use back-light GUI-utilities on the past distributions as
well. This issue also occurs if I close my screen and raise it again.
This issue also effected the installation process as well as when I
was using the i686 installer.
