Linux On My Samsung

Did you install all the packages as detailed there: http://www.voria.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=296 On my R580, I have: % aptitude search '~i~Ovoria' i A easy-slow-down-manager i A libgudev-1.0-0 i A libudev0 i A linux-headers-2.6.32-22 i A linux-headers-2.6.32-22-generic i A linux-headers-2....

However, what is quite peculiar i...

Hello, First of all, a big big thanks for your work! It is so helpful! I have a Samsung R580 with NVIDIA Driver 195.36.24 and xorg.conf with "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1" So far with Kubuntu 10.04, I can configure the power management to set the brightness on logon...
