This is just an annoying little bug that I'm having.
Every time I reboot my system, brightness is restored to 100% and stays that way until I manually lower it down using my brightness keys.
100% brightness is blinding, and while it's not a major issue, it's still annoying to have to do this manually.
Laptop: Dell Studio 1555
I am using ubuntu 11.10.
I want the following 3 things:
1. I have dell inspiron 5110 laptop. There is button at the top right corner of laptop which can be used for turning the screen off. It works in windows but it does not work in ubuntu 11.10. Even in the manual of the laptop, it the button is supported only in windows. Is there a way to activate it in ubuntu 11.10?
2.
Hi guys,
I've been dealing with this issue for about a year now, have looked all over the internet to no avail (most answers talk about USB keyboards which do not apply to my laptop) and have sent my laptop into Dell twice, one of which times they replaced pretty much all the hardware.
Here's the issue:
I have a Dell XPS 16 laptop with a dual boot of Windows 7 and Kubuntu (had the same problem
Both the ctrl and alt keys conspire to activate the "special" keys (screen brightness, sound, etc.) rather than targeting the f1, f2, etc., keys. Is there a setting in KDE (default 11.3 install on a pavilion dv7t x86_64 intel i7) that can adjust this? The ctrl key is used a lot by KDE, so I'd like it to target the function keys, not the "special" keys.
The screen on my laptop is going to sleep after 10 minutes on ac. Adjusting using the Power Management settings from the menu doesn't have any effect. The box for "Monitor power management control" is checked.The xfce4-power-management.xml file is as follows:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><channel name="xfce4-power-manager" v

I've just installed openSUSE 11.2 on my new Dell Precision laptop. The computer speakers (I think it's the ordinary ones, not the buzzer, but cannot be sure) make a loud buzzing noise when I do something "wrong". This may be pressing Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, pressing backspace when there is no character to delete, etc.
I just bought a firewall that is very loud.
My XFCE is configured to work with Fn and volume keys and does, but sometimes it stops, and I need to logout and login.
