Hi all,
I'm running PcBSD9 but I've got a problem with KDE and my laptop and I did not find yet a solution on the PCBSD forums, sorry to cross-post here.
I'm running 9 rc-1, which is a FreeBSD 9 rc-1 shipped with KDE, on an Acer Aspire 6935. The screen is really dark, making it difficult to work with the laptop. I've tried to change the screen brightness using the slider that appears in the power manager, but the screen did not change at all. I've then tried to use the nvidia-settings utility but while I can adjust gamma, saturation, etc., the brightness does not get changed in any way. Please note that the screen is actually working, since the machine is dual boot and the other OS can correctly adjust brightness.
I've also noted that the screen slightly becomes even darker when I plug the power supplier, and become slightly more bright when I unplug it. This is strange, since I would expect the opposite. The video card is GeForce 9600M GT and the screen is a Seiko/Epson (DFP-0). Anybody has experienced a similar problem and/or has clue or something else I can check on my system to get rid of this problem?
