ubuntu 10.10 desktop, 32 or 64 bit. Adjusting the LCD backlight brightness seems to be impossible. The mechanism of the function keys Fn-F1,-F2, the onscreen "brightness" slider, the value in /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/panasonic/brightness, everything works fine. But there is never ever any influence on the real backlight brightness of the laptop display. Normally it always remains on its maximum brightness, in rare cases it boots with its minimum brightness instead. The laptop is hardly usable this way:
Can anybody please provide some hints on how to solve the issue.
