["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Travis DePrato, could you please confirm this issue exists with the
latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . If the issue remains,
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) 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-v3.13-rc1

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:
  8086:2a42 [eMachines E527] On startup, the backlight is off on laptop

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Fix Released
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

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.
