[Bug 311716] Re: The slider brightness Applet has value inverted after the last update (2.6.27-11)

[Stefan Bader]

@Terrax,

sounds promising. :) Thanks for testing. I hope this goes similarly well for 
the others. No I actually did not revert in that sense. I kept the new 
infrastructure but added a new "default". With the new code added to -11 it was 
either acpi or vendor backlight control. While before actually both were active 
and thus causing problems for some others (values changed twice). Long term it 
should be either the one or the other but it seems this easily breaks. Possibly 
the hotkey functions in the laoptop specific drivers somehow are too tightly 
relying on both interfaces to be active. But then trying to get this fixed 
should be done rather in a development kernel.
The way it would be with that patch I made would be to have both interfaces 
active by default (as before) but additionally allow to specify module options 
to force only one of those two to be active.
