DOX optimized driver 185.20 Brightness issue

After updating to DOX's new driver I have not been able to change the brightness setting at all. I've checked Vista Power Options, Samsung Display Manager and the nVidia CP with no avail

Also, I can't go into Sleep manually (via the Start bar), if I try it will just lock the laptop. The only way is to close the lid and then it will Sleep (when on battery). On wake-up the brightness is, at a guess, 100% and its incredibly bright.

I wanted to know if it's some school boy error on my part or an issue with DOX's driver and if theres a fix already out. Also, if anyone else has this problem, please speak up.

Thanks in advance.

Hi.

I have the same problem, seems like it affects other models as well , manufactures integrate brightness controls into the display drivers.

I found some info in the link below, but i haven't got a clue.

John.

 

You think that I havn't tried that already

 

Thanks Tinder, I will look into it.

 

OK, I don't know what to do here.

Can anyone lend a hand? Am I the only one? :[

 

Same problem with 182.05

Is there a way of setting the brightness via the registry?

EDIT:
OK, I've found this;

These registry entries do not appear in my registry, could this be the case?
However I have entries reffering to PowerSchemes within the subfolders of HKLM

Can someone check in their registry for these entries maybe? Thanks.

I think I will add the brightness ones in tomorrow.
