Initially I thought the screen brightness was working: when I pressed f1/f2 a little slider came up and moved but then I noticed the screen brightness did not actually change.
Since then I've been tinkering - installed pommed and and few other things and now the problem is worse - the slider doesn't come up and the screen brightness can't change.
I did have nvidia_bl_dkms installed - I don't know where it came from but there appears to be no oneiric mactel ppa at the moment (anyone know why?). I found this out by trying to reinstall nvidia_bl_dkms only to find I could remove it but could not reinstall it (cannot be installed because it is a virtual package).
Anyway I'm stuck - the screen is way too bright and I can't change it!
Any hints please?
The volume control does work, and the onscreen slider appears, but it is slow, and inconsistent and sometimes there is a bleep when the keys are pressed, sometimes the bleep lags the button presses and sometimes there is no bleep. Weird...
