brightness and volume problems with Ubuntu 8.04 on Gateway M-6846
I have just installed Ubuntu on my Gateway M-6846 using wubi, and everything is working well except for the brightness and the volume. When I try to adjust brightness, I get the icon on the screen that shows the brightness going down, however, the actual brightness of the screen doesn't change. As for the volume, it can be adjusted, but turning it down to anything below about 50% makes it completely inaudible.
