This patch resolves the issue, but to be precise we should also set
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/dell_lcd_panel:
laptop_panel.brightness_in_hardware = true
in hal-info(?). To do it manually:
sudo hal-set-property --udi '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/dell_lcd_panel'
--key laptop_panel.brightness_in_hardware --bool true
However SetBrightness does not seem to work on this model anyway, so it
does nothing. This means dim on idle/dim on battery does not work.
GetBrightness does work.
Can one of the hal maintainers have a look at this patch?
