+ | ===== Notes ===== | ||
+ | Back-light Issue can be fixed (on Ubuntu based distros) by using ''sudo setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=0'' in the terminal upon boot (you may have to login blind and enter your password after the command, then add: | ||
+ | |||
+ | ''while [ true ]; sleep 1 | ||
+ | sudo setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=0 | ||
+ | done'' | ||
+ | |||
+ | To /etc/rc.local (at the end of the file just before the ''exit 0'' line). You can set B= to anything from FF (total dark) to (00) full bright, B=60 is about the halfway mark. (open as root ''sudo pico /etc/rc.loca'') | ||
+ | |||
+ | Alternatively, edit two lines in /etc/default/grub to read: | ||
+ | |||
+ | ''GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_backlight=vendor" | ||
+ | GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_osi=Linux"'' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Then run ''sudo update-gub''. This will enable brightness function key (albeit in reverse function) | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Summary ===== | ||
+ | Using most some older distributions Linux should work out of the box however most newer releases suffer from back-light issues. Other than that Linux should work fine using. |
