Description Fathi Boudra 2008-08-15 04:02:32 UTC 
Backlight is reduced on LVDS when an external vga monitor is connected.
Using a toshiba laptop with GeForce 7600 Go.

xbacklight and xgamma don't work, they do nothing. I guess it's another issue:

For informations, I have the same issue with nvidia driver:

Comment 1 Fathi Boudra 2008-08-15 05:08:48 UTC 
It's related to kernel. Since I have updated kernel from 2.6.25 to 2.6.26, backlight is normal.

As noted this is a kernel, not driver, problem
