I can confirm the patch above doesn't help. Backlight still flickers after patch has been applied.
I noticed that when the backlight flickers there is no gnome-power- manager icon in the panel. Restarting g-p-m a number of times until it stops flickering also make the icon appear. -- brightness is broken on MSI WIND U100 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/415023 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
