[Bug 257827] Re: brightness changes twice when using hotkeys

[Andy Whitcroft]

This looks to have been finally fixed in the upstream commits rooted at
as below, which is part of the v2.6.28-rc5 rollup:

    22c13f9d8179f4c9caecfcb60a95214562b9addc

so for Jaunty this should be fixed in the alpha2 snapshot which should
contain this kernel.

For intrepid these patches do appear to apply cleanly to our kernel.  So
we may be able to backport them to that release.  In order to do that we
would need to get the functionality tested.  To that end I have compiled
them up and uploaded some test kernels.  Could anyone who has hardware
affected by the double increase/decrease in brightness retest with
kernels from the URL below.  Please ensure any testing is without any of
the workarounds.
