I just tried Linux Mint Mate with the live dvd and I like it, but there are some problems that I want to make sure I can solve before installing it.
1. I was unable to adjust my laptop screen's brightness.
2. My laptop has a red light which indicates the CPU is running in turbo mode and it was on the whole time. Is there any simple way to disable turbo mode?

Re: Turbo CPU and brightness
The installation media does not run with all of the features that the installed version will have like cpu governors and power management.xpro wrote:I just tried Linux Mint Mate with the live dvd and I like it, but there are some problems that I want to make sure I can solve before installing it.

Also the screen brightness can be controlled by updating a control file and can be set to run at startup.
Code: Select all
echo "6" > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
Good luck
