I had problem to get my brightness work on my laptop. Press FN and F8/F9 work, but nothing happens even if I could increase/decrease. So I started to remove nvidia files from synaptic. Started to remove x11-driver-video-nvidia-current/dkms-nvidia-current that didn’t help (restarted). So I removed also x11-driver-video-nvidia173/dkms-nvidia173 (restarted) and nouveau driver didn’t help either. Then I removed x11-driver-video-nouveau and installed x11-driver-video-nvidia-current/dkms-nvidia-current but after x-server could not load. I thought writing startx would load x, no luck. I installed nouveau by: su (password) and then: apt-get install x11-driver-video-nouveau. Then by writing startx I could load x and I could get to my desktop. Problem now even if I install nvidia-current, nouveau driver is loaded and nvidia-settings are not in PCLinuxOS Menu → More application->Configuration.

cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf |grep Driver
    Driver "nouveau"

So I want nvidia and not nouveau driver to load. Secondly how can I get brightness to work?

My card:
lspci | grep -i vga
05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G72M [GeForce Go 7400] (rev a1)

Thanks!

Have you tried installing nvdock - that allows you to access nvidia-settings

That can be done using nvidia-settings

If you can keep you head while all around you are losing theirs, then you have misunderstood the situation.

Hi Kurdistan and welcome!

nvidia-settings can be installed from synaptic, but as far as I know it work only with nvidia drivers, not with nv or nouveau.
