Vendor: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.One of our users has an HP 250 G6 laptop. I don't know if this is relevant but the output of sudo lshw -c video is: *-display UNCLAIMED Installing amd gpu PPA third-party repository drivers. That completely stopped ubuntu from booting until I removed them. Installing amd gpu drivers from the official website. By the way, the value of /sys/class/backlight/max_brightness is 49 and I can't change that, even as root.

I also tried changing the value of acpi_backlight to none and that doesn't work either.Ĭhanging the value of /sys/class/backlight/brightness.
