Re: BRIGHTNESS LEVEL FIXED ON SONY VAIO VPCEH38FN

[Atish Pandey <atish_pandey@ymail.com>]

Yeah, the problem was solved by some minor changes /etc/default/grub.d

Edit this line:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"

to

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_backlight=vendor"

And it was done. This worked on my Ubuntu 14.04. And fortunately here on debian also..

And yes Cindy, other Fn/hotkeys works just fine on my pc with debian. [On my vaio, the wireless switch is a hardware one rather than software]

Congratulations on your new Debian! Does your Fn key work as expected
for other behaviors such as turning wifi on and off, raising the sound
level up and down, those kinds of actions *IF* that worked previously
for your setup?
