Hello,

I can't change my screen brightness. I'm using gnome 2, if I click on brightness applet on my gnome-panel, it's show me an error:

"https://www.dropbox.com/s/9f7ak765s16c5zx/Captura_de_tela.png"

The translation of my error is, "Cannot get laptop panel brightness"

I can't use the command "xbacklight" if I try it show me:

Code:

    # xbacklight
              No outputs have backlight property
   


and my backlight's directory is empty
Code:

       # ls -a /sys/class/backlight/
            .  ..


So how cai I fix it?

Thanks.

Do you have ACPI_VIDEO enabled in your kernel? (and loaded if built as module)
