Hi,
Have been looking all through the forum for last 3 days (currently no internet in my apartment - spending 3 hours a day in starbucks

) trying to figure out how to get the FN-up and FN-down keys to work adjusting my backlight. Just found a thread where someone was asked to post the results of

Code: Select all

lspci -nn
sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name

so that a fix could be made for this problem on their specific model. So here are my results:

Any help greatly appreciated - I am getting sick of having to adjust my brightness in BIOS and then sticking with it until my next restart!

Thanks.

Never mind, working after a full upgrade - thought I did this yesterday but apparently something went wrong. The only remaining problem is that the backlight occasionally starts rapidly switching between the 1st and 2nd brightness settings until another hotkey is pressed (e.g. volume up). This seems to happen soon after start-up but has also happened during a session. Anyone else had this problem? Thanks.
