Adjusting Brightness on a Samsung NC10 Running (K)Ubuntu
July 25th, 2010 No comments
The hardware keys for adjusting brightness on a Samsung NC10 aren’t working in an out-of-the-box Kubuntu 10.04. The brightness slider in the Power Management tray application isn’t working as designed as well.
Fortunately, you can set the display brightness using the hardware keys in GRUB, the bootloader that let’s you choose what OS and/or Kernel you want to start.
Settings are lost on reboot, and you still can’t change the brightness at runtime, but it’s better than nothing.
Update:
Actually, there is a way to enable the brightness keys. And you don’t even have to edit your X.org conf manually. Just head over to ubuntu-tweak.com and install samsung-brightness
