[Bug 1096064] Re: [Lenovo x131e] - Brightness applet toggles, Actual screen brightness does not.

 

Greg Vallande, as per http://download.lenovo.com/express/ddfm.html an
update is available for your BIOS (2.56). If you update to this
following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change
anything?

If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Thank you for your understanding.
