Linux On My Samsung

sorry to bump an old topic, but I just like to mention this also helped me.

I'm using Linux Mint 13 on my N210 netbook, and my backlight control was not functioning well for quite a while, I think after an original kernel update. The slider responded to fn + up/down but the backlight didn't change ...
