Hi Adrian,

Correct, there is an issue with the brightness controls. It sometimes randomly
turns the screen off, even when turning it to maximum setting. Then when you
change the settings again randomly, the video comes back.
Still, this needs to be bisected.
Ok... fine.. as far as I remember in my experience this is an old
bug... months. I don't ever recall it working, but previously I had a
slightly different iBook which failed in the GPU and this is not the
exact model, so subtle bugs differ (and taint my memory as far as
working goes).
On my PowerBook G4 which is quite similar, everything works regarding
the screen.
So not just "something latest" in the kernel nor it is a specific
hardware error of your computer.
Although it almost never work on boot, the amount of "increase
brightness" one needs to give is random. Could be a badly inited memory
value or so.
