Bug Description
Since installing Ubuntu on my Asus Eee 1008p, the max brightness level has been too low. (Lower than before when using Opensuse). The Fn brightness control keys are working fine, and i can adjust the brightness with no problem. Just that the highest level is quite dull.
WORKAROUND: I fixed the problem in the terminal with:
[CODE]sudo gedit /etc/rc.
And writing:
[CODE]sudo setpci -s 00:02.0 f4.b=ff[/CODE]
before
[CODE]Exit 0[/CODE]
