[Bug 207473] Re: Screen brightness double level changes on Dell laptops

[Amir Khosroshahi]

Thanks Steve,

After I looked more deeply into the problem, I found that the problem is not
with brightness level changes -- it changes correctly when I press
Fn+Up/Down keys.

The problem is that there are 6 brightness levels (as reported in
'/proc/acpi/video/VID/LCD/brightness'), which are 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84
and 100, whereas the brightness pop-up (of the new notification system)
shows 7 levels; That's why it seems to get confused when showing the
brightness levels while the brightness is changing correctly. For example,
when LCD brightness is at level 0 (lowest), it still shows the brightness at
level 1.

I don't know exactly which package I should submit this bug against. Could
you help? And sorry if I disscussed the isse in the wrong place.
