Thanks for this report.

I think i will upgrade my n150 this week end

Currently, i'm too busy to catch some answers for your problem.

But did you try with Ubuntu 11.04 ?

I have newly bought Samsung N145Plus Notebook. It fails to work with samsung-backlight driver (both version, one from voria ubuntu ppa and another from github). The problem is that we don't have this device in samsung_dmi_table. After some tweaking I have added code to support it { .ident = "N...

Subforum is good too.

Hi,

Sorry i don't understand the problem.

What really happens when you try to use fn keys ?

Did you set up voria kernel too ?

Type this in a console to check your kernel version :

I am testing Ubuntu Natty Beta-1 and cannot install the Voria Samsung PPA Tools on my box. As there is less than a month before the final release of Natty, it would be nice if we could test the Samsung tools/backlight/... during that period, so that e know if anything must be altered. A.
