[Kokel <nicolaskokel@xxxxxxxxx>]

I created a 80-backlight.conf file according to the Intel HD Graphic Controllers section of page 
 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Debugging/Backlight
and then the brightness script is now working, but it does not improve the brightness farther.

Probably I got used to the high brightness and brillance of an LCD monitor I am using as an external display.
It must be the lower screen quality of the labtop display which made think of a backlight bug.

This ticket can be closed.

Sorry for annoyance.

Nicolas

Title:
  No backlight found on system with Lubuntu 12.04

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Labtop HP Pavilion HDX 9150EF with Lubuntu 12.04.4 LTS, Kernel Linux
  3.2.0-60-generic (x86_64) has acceptable visual quality but lacks
  brillance and is somewhat dark.

  This is first time Linux is installed on this machine.

  Open source Radeon drivers installed according to: http://doc.ubuntu-
  fr.org/radeon

  XFCE manager does not dim the display.

  Brightness control created according to: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/04/brightness-control-ubuntu
  return the message "no backlights were found on your system".

  Grub file changed according to: http://www.refreshit.info/2012/08/solved-brightness-increase-and-decrease.html#.Uzp8ch_I0fA
  but with no effect.

  According to reporting Backlight Bugs from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Debugging/Backlight
  I checked that backlight control does not work and there are no entries in /sys/class/backlight.

  Therefore it should be an ACPI issue if I understand correctly.

  Is there a way to activate or manage backlight on this system to
  recover original brillance?

  Best regards,
  Nicolas
