Description abhishek 2011-06-22 15:53:29 UTC 
Description of problem:

I recently installed Red Hat 6.0 and the brightness value of my monitor is set to minimum. The brightness control keys and the power options are of no help. 
The graph does change from min to max, but the brightness of the screen is still at its lowest value.

System S/W:



H/W:

Envy 17 1023tx

i7 720QM


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
uname -a gives:
Linux jarvis 2.6.32-71.el6.i686 #1 SMP Wed Sep 1 01:26:34 EDT 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

How reproducible:

Tried both 32 and 64 bit versions. The 'minimum brightness' issue persists. It works all right with Ubuntu, fedora, SuSE, Windows7 etc.

Steps to Reproduce:

Expected results:

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2011-10-07 15:38:35 UTC 
Since RHEL 6.2 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 4 John Shortt 2015-10-08 17:59:08 UTC 
Many minor releases have shipped for RHEL6.  If you still believe this to be a critical problem, please submit a new BZ against the latest version.

Thanks
