I have a HP Pavilion g6 laptop. After installing Ubuntu, screen brightness does not not decrease. Due to this high brightness, I am unable to use Ubuntu properly.
Graphics- ATI Radeon.
Please help me solve the problem.

By "does not decrease", do you mean brightness change via fn keys of your laptop or do you mean via Ubuntu's system brightness settings?– FuzzyQAug 11, 2012 at 17:48

A friend of mine had the exact same problem on a Samsung NP530 laptop, after an Ubuntu 12.04 kernel update.
/etc/default/grub, GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT variable, he added acpi_osi=
After running update-grub and a reboot, problem solved.

What does the kernel boot parameter "set acpi_osi=Linux" do?

Try setting acpi_backlight=vendor upon start. I've had to do that for two laptops, an ASUS and a Dell in order to make the backlight work.
Add to the variable GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub, acpi_backlight=vendor. Then run update-grub and reboot.
