Been trying different things over the past couple of weeks without success. I recently got a new ultrabook (Samsung Series 9 NP900X4C) which came with Windows 8. I put Windows 7 on it, stubborn as I am, and now I'm trying to find additional BIOS settings that don't appear in CSM. Particularly, I'm trying to find a BIOS setting to change the adaptive screen brightness, which supposedly is a UEFI-exclusive setting.
I've tried booting a Win8 DVD without finding any options for UEFI. Ubuntu booting via UEFI doesn't seem to have any options for such, either. Grub2 does offer a "Setup" option, which I presume is related to UEFI. However, when I try to boot to it, I get a message stating "fwsetup" wasn't found.
Any ideas guys? Would I pretty much need to bite the bullet and put 8 back on it? Thanks in advance!
