NVIDIA DRIVER "FN + ARROW" BRIGHTNESS SOLUTION (WORKAROUND).
Hi guys,
1st time poster, let me know if this should go somewhere else.
I don't know if this affects laptops other than the Acer 6920G, but I have seen a few users describing this problem.
Playing around with the buttons as follows, I able to get it working to a satisfactory level.
THE BRIGHTNESS WORKAROUND BUTTON TECHNIQUE:
1. STOP trying to incrementally decrease brightness like this:
fn + left arrow,
left arrow,
left arrow, etc
2. START incrementally decreasing brightness like THIS, keeping fn pressed the entire time:
fn + F6 + left arrow,
F6 + left arrow,
F6 + left arrow, etc
…This obviously applies to INCREASING brightness too. Just follow the steps using ‘right arrow’ instead of ‘left arrow’.
