Title:
[Samsung N220] Cannot control backlight using the keyboard keys on
Ubuntu Server
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
The problem appears in console mode only and it is that the backlight
cannot be controlled with the Fn keys. It can neither be adjusted nor
turned off. The Samsung N220 netbook runs Ubuntu Server 12.04.1 LTS
and has a sun readable PixelQi display.
ls /sys/class/backlight :
intel_backlight
samsung
I have put acpi_backlight=vendor kernel parameter as setting acpi
video backlight does not have any effect.
WORKAROUND: echo 200 |sudo dd of=/sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness
echo 4 |sudo dd of=/sys/class/backlight/samsung/brightness
The above commands work differently though. The first one allows
controlling in great ranges, while the second controls the backlight
within some bounds.
WORKAROUND: With the following kernel parameter the Fn keys function correctly:
acpi=off
