Re: Samsung NB30 Netbook - Brightness problem
This worked for me for a while.. I did a full update/upgrade last night.. FAIL.. back to where I started. The brightness bar moves but no effect.

Using kernel 2.6.31-20-generic, the FN-UP and FN-DOWN keys adjust the brightness as expected.
Thanks very much!
Unfortunately, I also have an option, the default, for kernel 2.6.32-21-generic and using this, the brightness keys do not work and also wireless is inoperable. Is this a known problem?
Re: Samsung NB30 Netbook - Brightness problem
Unfortunately after a System Update on my Samsung NB-30 (touchscreen) everything went back to the original mess:
- backlight management is not working anymore
- wireless is not working anymore
- FN keys not working anymore
- touchscreen working though
The original fixing methods, such as installing Samsung-tools from the Voria PPA repository seem not to be working anymore.
Very frustrating indeed.
Anyone?
Thanx

Re: Samsung NB30 Netbook - Brightness problem
Thank you VoRia for your work. There is usually no reliable HowTo matching certain equipment, but you did a good instruction. Keep updating!
However, the backlight scroll does not work for my Samsung NB30. Actually keys are working but nothing happens. Hope this problem shall be solved soon.

Re: Samsung NB30 Netbook - Brightness problem
I know this thread is over a year old but was wondering if there were any new developments.
I have the power-up problem on my NB30, the brightness is low if I power-up on battery, it is fine on AC.
The Fn keys do not appear to respond, so no adjustments available there.
I am using Puppy Linux dpup Exprimo v5x15
Kernel 2.6.39
Thanks!
