Dell Inspiron 3537 Brightness problem
Hi,
I bought my new Dell Inspiron 3537, and changed Ubuntu to Windows 7 x64. I downloaded drivers to it from Dell's official page, and everything is fine, except one thing. I can't change brightness. When I press Fn+F4/F5 the little box appears on my screen, but does nothing to brightness. I've tried to solve it from the control panel, but it wasn't successfull. Can somebody suggest me what to do?

SUPER
So, I've found the answer. So originally I installed this AMD driver:

But I've got an error code (43). I just had to install this as well:

And now it's working.

You need the Dell Quickset application

Thanks, but I've already had it. Now I've tried to run it again, and chose the 'Repair' option, but the problem is still there.

Have you installed the chipset drivers?
