If running linux one has to provide acpi_backlight=vendor in grub loader for brightness thingy

@Sushubh You can't adjust brightness levels right?. Which is default brightness in it High/Low?

 

[Sushubh]

i can adjust brightness when ubuntu is loading. but not after ubuntu has loaded.

98% compatible with linux. I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 with this. Dual booting it with Windows 7 ultimate 32bit. Haven't had any problems with both. Ubuntu detected all hardware out of the box, except the hot key brightness Fn+up/down. Found a PPC fix from Samsung tools and that gives the remaining 2% for 100% linux compatibility.

Found this in Samsung Site
