Title:
  8086:2a42 [eMachines E725] My backlight is off

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I just updated to Ubuntu 11.04 Beta to find that the backlight of my
  monitor is off (or very low) and I can't turn it on.

  The backlight intensity control never worked on any previous version
  of Ubuntu (the Fn key controls responded, and changed a bar on screen,
  but never really changed the backlight). The Fn key On/Off worked
  before. In the new kernel, the backlight is off (or very low) by
  default and the controls does not work, so I can't turn it on.

  Now I am using the old 2.6.35-28-generic kernel to report this bug.
