Hello all,
My laptop display on my E6410 will randomly go dim and bright when I am using it and there is no change in the environment. I have checked the obvious settings and searched the old forum for any info but I could not find anything beside the obvious (power/display settings). I am relatively new to Linux and I have not used it in years.
The background is that I recently reinstalled my system because of a SSD failure and I wanted to keep my install as original as possible for reliabilty. Since then, it is up and running with the correct proprietary drivers; everything is functioning well but this issue has become an annoyance (it has brightened and dimmed half a dozen times while writing this). Thanks in advance for any advice! God bless.
