LCD Brightness on FULL Sony VGN-N38E

[wahwahman89]

I bought my girlfriend a Hackbook recently and installed iATKOS on it (10.5.1 rev 1 I think). Well, practically, everything works fine except power management is so shocking that the 4 hour-battery-life laptop has been turned into a ridiculous half hour or so owing to the display being on full brightness and also no power management for the core 2 duo 1.86GHz processor.

Anyone got any suggestions? Had good experiences with Kalyway's 10.5.1 but no luck on this notebook, fails every time.

Shall I update the graphics drivers? Should I dare?

Graphics is GMA950 by the way.

 

Thanks a lot
