This page is dedicated to the NetBook Samsung NC10.
Brightness keys not working
The brightness keys Fn-Brightness up and Fn-Brightness down does not work under Ubuntu (Karmic, Lucid). Here are some workarounds:
- Use command-line (see [1])
sudo setpci -s 00:02.1 f4.b=77 # where 77 (00-ff) is the brightness value
- In Gnome, add Brightness Applet
- Upgrade the BIOS to 11CA of the netbook (see Flash your Samsung NC10’s BIOS from Linux). It requires the utility flashrom.
- Adding 2 scripts in /etc/acpi (see [2])
Does not work for me but many other fix on the same page (including using Compiz...) - Other fixes here:
- Using Brightness Applet
- Using xbacklight
- The reference page Brightness Keys - kernel patch Samsung NC10 on Ubuntu 8.10
- The reference page Samsung NC10 on Ubuntu 10.04
