[Bug 363290] [NEW] smartdimmer -i stopped working after upgrade to jaunty, though -d still works

[wvengen]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nvclock

After the upgarde to Jaunty RC, smartdimmer didn't work properly anymore:
  $ smartdimmer -g
  SmartDimmer level: 35
  $ smartdimmer -d
  $ smartdimmer -g
  SmartDimmer level: 30
  $ smartdimmer -i
  $ smartdimmer -g
  SmartDimmer level: 30
The problem appears to be that the nVidia driver now rounds down brightness values to a multiple of 5:
  $ smartdimmer -g
  SmartDimmer level: 30
  $ nvclock -S +1
  Changing Smartdimmer level from 30% to 31%
  New Smartdimmer level: 30%
  $ smartdimmer -g
  SmartDimmer level: 30
  $ nvclock -S +5
  Changing Smartdimmer level from 30% to 35%
  New Smartdimmer level: 35%
  $ smartdimmer -g
  SmartDimmer level: 35
Maybe smartdimmer should know about a minimum change value to just work(tm).
