If i'm booting with "nomodeset" then can't change Brightness/Login/Logout/Suspend/Resume ..etc. Accidentally booted once without "nomodeset" everything was working (Brightness/Login/Logout/Suspend/Resume).

I tried alot of fixes like "acpi_backlight=vendor" in kernel option, but without any success :-(

My system: Ubuntu 12.4.3 (64bit) On HP 250 (preinstalled with ubuntu)

lspci -nnk | grep -A5 VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: **Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor      Graphics Controller** [8086:0166] (rev 09)
Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:1854]
Kernel modules: i915
00:16.0 Communication controller [0780]: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family MEI Controller #1 [8086:1e3a] (rev 04)
Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:1854]
Kernel driver in use: mei

Why are you trying to use the nomodeset option? The intel VGA-s should be used with KMS enabled, so you shouldn't use the nomodeset option.

(Also unrelated to your question, but the mei module is known to cause problems, so if you don't need it you may want to blacklist it.)

UPDATE:

So you said in the comments that booting with KMS enabled results in a blank screen, but if you close/open the laptop lid everything gets normal. Maybe you have the problem stated here. You might try the solutions presented there.

Here is another similar problem which says that it is a problem that the blacklight is off. It links to this workaround. You may try that one also.

Or try the boot parameters presented here. (add the acpi_osi=Linux parameter also, not just the acpi_backlight)

  • Because without "nomodeset" the boot is Blank. It's possible to boot the intel-VGA without nomodeset? – Sia Dec 31 '13 at 19:02
  • @Sia I do not understand. You wrote in your question that Accidentally booted once without "nomodeset" everything was working. Now you say that without nomodeset your PC won't even boot? So is it working without nomodeset, or not? The intel-VGA should be used without nomodeset. e.g look here: KMS is supported by Intel chipsets that use the i915 DRM driver and is enabled by default as of kernel v2.6.32. – falconer Dec 31 '13 at 19:06
  • Yes the Booting got blank screen, closed the laptop for few seconds and again was working. Tried again with the same tricks but ... ;-) – Sia Dec 31 '13 at 19:14
  • @Sia I updated my answer. You problem is likely not with KMS, but with something else. I presented some possible solutions. – falconer Dec 31 '13 at 19:28
  • her is the /etc/default/grub

  • @Sia Please try the solutions I linked in my answer. I think you should go backwards on those links I gave, because I think arch wiki solution won't work for you, but the last 2 one will likely help. – falconer Dec 31 '13 at 19:44
  • Thnx @falconer, before asking her, ive tried all of them, i can even hear the login sound, but the screen is totally blank. – Sia Dec 31 '13 at 20:07
  • @Sia OK. I will look into this next year. :) But I hope someone solves this for you sooner. – falconer Dec 31 '13 at 20:08
  • Thnx and happy new year, even i believe nobody can fix it. I 'll try to install other distro which is more stable & carefully made.

    Regards
