Bug: Monitor Brightness

iwishiknew

I have an Acer Aspire V5 Touch (i3 processor, x64 bit architecture)

It has a touch screen, as the name implies. When running Ubuntu, I can use the screen brightness controls, but they do nothing to modify the brightness of the screen.

Is there anything I can do?

I did a quick google search and that is a known bug. They have a workaround posted at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1742352
