Title:
Screen brightness levels won't scale correctly
Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When I press the key to lower the screen brightness it immediately
turns the screen brightness to minimum but when I hit the key to
increase the screen brightness it turn my screen to 1/10 of it's
maximum brightness (my /sys/class/backlight offers 10 levels of
brightness), thought if I keep the increase brightness key pressed for
a couple of seconds it turns the screen brightness to maximum (it
won't be able to scale with the other screen brightness levels, it
goes straight to maximum). Interestingly though when I use Fedora 15
(older distributions of Fedora won't work) brightness levels work just
fine, so I think this used to be a gnome-settings-daemon bug corrected
with the release of gnome 3.
