I have a Radeon HD 6990m and since upgrading to Windows 8 brightness control has no affect. That's using the charms, function keys and power options. My display is stuck permanently at 100% brightness.

Also, if my battery runs low and the display dims, there's no way to increase brightness after connecting it to the mains. I have to do a full shutdown (not restart) after which brightness is stuck at 100% again.

It's been this way with the last couple of Beta releases. I'm currently on 12.11 Beta 11. Can we get this major issue fixed please? 100% brightness is hard on the eyes.

The Installation Verification Software is designed to prevent driver download on certain notebook products.

When used with Windows Vista or Windows 7, the user experience may be limited or compromised. In such a situation, it is recommended to revert back to the driver provided by your system vendor for your specific platform.

My shittery vendor is HP. It won't release any new driver for my 2010 year manufactured laptop.

So what to do?
