    Hello,
    I have a HP Probook 6540b notebook with ATi Mobility Radeon HD4550 graphics card.

    I have a problem with screen bright after install ATi drivers - is too bright.
    Unfortunately, it isn't possible to correct this via Cataclyst Control Center or Windows color calibrate (I use Win7 Pro x64).
    I tried install the newest drivers from ATi site and recommend drivers from HP site, but it didn't help...

    Strangely, when I installed restricted drivers on Ubuntu 10 or Linux Mint 9, there weren't any problems.
    So, I am sure that the drivers causing the problem.

    What can I do?

    Screen brightness is controlled by your keyboard key(s). Usually it's Fn + Up to increase the screen brightness, and Fn + Down, to decrease it.
    Refer to your laptop manual for more information.
