[Bug 631323] [NEW] Max brightness level is too low on eee pc

[Rune Lacroix]

Public bug reported:

Since installing Ubuntu on my Asus Eee 1008p, the max brightness level
has been too low. (Lower than before when using Opensuse). The Fn
brightness control keys are working fine, and i can adjust the
brightness with no problem. Just that the highest level is quite dull.

I fixed the problem in the terminal with:
[CODE]sudo gedit /etc/rc.local[/CODE]
And writing:
[CODE]sudo setpci -s 00:02.0 f4.b=ff[/CODE] 
before
[CODE]Exit 0[/CODE]
