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

One further note:  I have discovered a work-around, sort of.  In my case, when I use Fn +F6 to reduce the brightness to the minimum (for me, level 6 initially)  if I then use Fn +F7 to increase brightness BY JUST ONE INCREMENT to 7, then I can return to Fn + F6 and drop down to 4.  If I continue this process of 'three steps down, one step up' 
I CAN EVENTUALLY REACH 1!!   

This looks like some sort of problem initializing a variable, one that
gets set when brightness is moved up, and decremented when brightness
goes down.  Each time the brightness is moved up, it goes to a value
like 3, and can be reduced three times?

Hope this helps.
