Problems and Solutions
- Problem (at 2011.10.29): screen brightness cannot be changed
- Solution: add 'acpi_backlight=vendor' in /etc/default/grub after 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“quiet splash' and run 'sudo update-grub' afterwards.
- This problem appears to be solved in kernel versions since 3.8.8. Correct this if its wrong.
