Toshiba L40-13G, screen is dim

[ted_doug]

I had noted that on Fedora9 my laptop screen is dimmer than Fedora8, I had never enough time to report this, I had taken a look and could not really resolve the issue in Fedora9.

A few days ago I switched back to Fedora8 to see if the usb hubs could go well with Fedora8 Kernels, I noticed a much brighter screen and thought it's the best time to share the story here.

laptop model is L40-13G (European model)

Any ideas?

Can't you turn the brightness up? Check under the power settings

Use the hotkeys on your laptop keyboard to turn up the brightness and make changes, as suggested, in power management.
