Hello all
I've just installed
Debian in my
Fujitsu T4010D laptop a few days ago.
Everything is going fine except that I can't change the screen brightness. I've tried everything (maybe not everything but you know what I mean :P) but I'm not having any success.
The problem is that my function key (
FN) does not work so I'm not able to change the brightness.
I installed
gddccontrol 0.4.2 but it says that my monitor does not support
DDC/CI. So I googled for it and some advise to update the graphic drivers. The problem is that I can't update them either.
This is what the log shows when I try to install the drivers:
Code:

This appears in the terminal:

Compiling new agpgart module...
ERROR: AGPGART module did not compile
Compiling DRM module...
ERROR: Kernel modules did not compile
The DRI drivers can not be installed without the latest kernel modules.
Installation will be aborted. See the dri.log file for information on
what went wrong.
My graphics is an
Intel 82852/82855.
So I did some more search and found some drivers for the
FN key...but again...I can't install them. When I try to run the make file it just starts popping some errors.
I don't know what do to anymore and I'm a noob so...hope you guys can give me some help here. The brightness is too high...it hurts my eyes :S
Thanks in advance
Take care!
