[Bug 92194] hal-0.5.9.rc1

[tigrux]

Support for dell backlights was integrated since hal-0.5.9.rc1, but
ubuntu uses hal-0.5.8.

I tried to recompile 0.5.9.rc1 in my ubuntu, but the current patches (of
0.5.8) failed to apply and the binaries I got do not work with the
gnome-power-manager. :(

I agree with Eugenia, Feisty should backport the support for dell
backlights but it is not as easy as I tought.
