Compaq C700 with Ubuntu 8.04, Laptop brightness problem
I'm having a Compaq c700 laptop on which i've installed Ubuntu 8.04. The laptop brightness adjustment keys (Fn+F7 for dimming and Fn+F8 for brightning) aren't working. Can anyone help me out with this? I would really appreciate it. Thanks guys.

I installed Ubuntu using the wubi installer, which was very straightforward (just follow the onscreen instructions). Took about 20-30 min. Everything works fine except: 1. Wireless ethernet (wired works fine). There are many posts about how to get this working with ndiswrapper or madwifi, but I haven't got it working yet. That's probably a user issue, not an ubuntu issue :) 2. Brightness control. Also, sometimes the touchpad doesn't work on startup. A restart usually solves the problem. |
I just found a fix for the brightness problems on my Compaq C751NR:
