[Bug 415023] Re: brightness is broken on MSI WIND U100

[Dmitri Petros]

ozzyboy, have you tried disabling kernel mode setting in grub? That
seems to be the preferred workaround in the release notes.

Assuming you have grub 2 (check synaptic - it'll be listed as 1.97 or
something like that) -

sudo gedit /etc/default/grub 
type your password
add "nomodeset" within the quotes at the end of the "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX" line.
save
close gedit
sudo update-grub

and you should be right.

However, the screen might still flicker when you use the Fn F* keys to
change brightness. I find the best workaround for that is to add the
brightness panel applet by right clicking on your top panel, clicking
"add to panel", then adding the brightness applet. Then use the applet
to change brightness, not the Fn F* keys.

If you still having problems with suspend, it may be do with bug 435352.
