(Partial) Fix for screen brightness on Asus Eeepc 1015PE with Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr

Create a file in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf with the following information in it.

Code: Select all

Section "Device"
        Identifier "card0"
        Driver "intel"
        Option "Backlight" "intel_backlight"
        BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection

Reboot, and dimming and brightness should work. Although on mine it doesn't seem to go to "full" brightness.

Ubuntu...? That's what you get for buying something made in a place you've never heard of or can't locate on a map!

Let this be a lesson. Never pay for Ubuntu. Always find somewhere on the internet where you can get it for free.
