THANKS DUDE! You saved my ***!
even this didn't work at first. I'm using Grub2. I append that line to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT there was no effect.
then after a lot of reading I figured out the update-grub doesn't work to me at all. it just doesn't change the \boot\grub\grub.cfg (I found this problem because I can't update Kernel too. changing in menu.lst has no effect either)
so i edit the grub.cfg... ignoring "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE", append "nomodeset acpi_backlight=vendor" , so the entry changes to:
Code:
menuentry “Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-14-generic” {
recordfail=1
if [ -n ${have_grubenv} ]; then save_env recordfail; fi
set quiet=1
insmod ext2
set root=(hd0,1)
search –no-floppy –fs-uuid –set c6a96e39-7f93-4663-b35f-8df4d30b0764
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic root=UUID=c6a96e39-7f93-4663-b35f-8df4d30b0764 ro quiet splash nomodeset acpi_backlight=vendor
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-14-generic
}
reboot, it works! both in gnome and KDE!
you saved my eyes too~
hope this could help someone, even though i'm not sure what i am doing. i'm such a newbie to linux, maybe someone could explain to me why? is it a bug?
