http://askubuntu.com – I'm a newbie and am trying to get to the system menu - to get a 2nd monitor to work from my hdmi output (on a laptop). I see "system settings" in the "shut down" menu in upper left, but no matter what I try I can't open it. Any help would be appreciated. thanks. (HowTos)

https://bbs.archlinux.org – I usually have laptop-mode tools configure my brightness. Essentially, it sets the brightness to 12 on AC and 7 on battery. This worked fine until a recent update. This coincided with the upgrade to the latest kernel in the stable repo but I'm not sure the kernel is responsible. Basically, when I boot, brightness is now at 100% (15). If I remove the AC, brightness is correctly set to 7. (HowTos)
