P.S.
I still do not understand why Fedora developers cannot make brightness working out of the box. Options are there under System Settings > Brightness and Lock, but they are simply not working and all you need is just to add one option in a grub.cfg, at least in a case of my Acer.
thanks! but for some reason when i add acpi_backlight=vendor it doesnt work i have to also add acpi_isolinux=vendor and i dont know what it means
ReplyDeleteThanks for that... sorted my brightness control out
ReplyDeleteThanks It works ,for an Acer Aspire S3
