    Brightness in HP8530w

    HI,

    I recently installed ubuntu 10.04 in my hp8530w laptop. I find my display brightness, to be very low. The brightness level in power manager shows 100. Functional keys don't work! Please help!!

    The problem is solved. I had my driver set to NVIDIA 173 version! I changed it to NVIDIA current version and rebooted, when I got my full brightness back...Thanks!
