[Bug 764195] Re: laptop screen blacklight brightness always at 100% (even on battery), can't be lowered

 

People, I finally found a real workaround.

using the official nvidia driver, I installed the package nvidia-bl-dkms
from the Mactel PPA (https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support/+archive/ppa)

Now I can control the backlight perfectly. Not even with the noveau
driver I could control it with this much precision.

Just to remember, I´m using the nVidia Corporation GT218 [GeForce 310M]
(rev a2) on a Sony Vaio VPCCW21FX.
