===== Samsung NF310 =====

Running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on a Samsung NF310.
Most of it works right out of the box. But the function keys controlling the luminosity of the screen freeze the mouse and/or the screen and don't seem to work correctly in any way. This page is a collection of links and possible solution to overcome this problem.

Following [[http://79deltacharlie.blogspot.com/2011/05/samsung-nf310-installation-dubuntu.html| 79 Delta Charlie]] solutions:

Add Samsung-tools and Samsung-backlight from Voria repository
<code bash>
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:voria/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install samsung-tools samsung-backlight
</code>

Edit /etc/default/grub and replace:
<code>GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"</code>
by
<code>GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_backlight=vendor"</code>
Save the file and then do:
<code bash>sudo update-grub2</code>
