The brightness shortcuts don't work, either. There is no slider in the place where it used to be. gnome panel applet reported unable to acquire the laptop LCD screen brightness information.

No matter I use Nvidia binary driver from rpmfusion nor nouveau gallium3d driver, the situation remains the same: No way to adjust the brightness.

Running on Fedora 13 Alpha LiveCD does not make any difference. No such problem with previous Fedora release. I used to run the same nivida binary driver on Fedora 12. Slider was there.

I will see what happens on other laptop.

Kind regards,

The brightness keys on your keyboard don't work ? There is still a
slider in the first tab of the power preferences, and the there is still
an applet you can use (admittedly, it currently has some issues with
mouse interaction, but works perfectly fine with the keyboard).

So, what you describe certainly sounds like a bug, albeit a not very
clearly described one.
