I have an otherwise fully-functioning install of Ubuntu 12.04 on my HPdv7t laptop.
When I press the 'brightness buttons' on the keyboard the associated images appear on my screen to say I am increasing/decreasing the screen brightness. When I go into "System Settings" I can move the 'brightness slider bar' up and down.
But none of that changes the fact that my screen is stuck on the highest brightness setting.
ANY clues on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated. This giant 17-inch monitor is blinding, and this is making it hard to code for any length of time.
