Black Screen on Ubuntu
Today i tried to install Ubuntu 11.10 on HP Pavilion g6 laptop and i faced a strange problem a black screen during installation!!!
so i tried connecting it to another monitor and it did work but after installation and installing latest update and drivers the problem still exist on the main monitor :S
so after some googleing and trying deferent solutions i found out that the problem in screen brightness level, for laptop monitor the level is 0 or less "total black" which is weird, and the fn key is working in wrong way "inversed" WTH!! ,
to adjust the level you need to hit f3 without fn key :S , or find the solution the hard way by setting it in this file /etc/rc.local by adding the following line before exit 0
echo 5 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
exit 0
Where 5 is the brightness level from 0 to 10
