See my bug for apport information, I still have this problem and requires a manual (not very noob friendly) config file edit to grub to fix it. Whole point of Ubuntu is that it is a user friendly distribution, this pretty much kills some of the usability for 1370 users.
If there's any other commands you would like me to run for you, let me know. Every new version of Ubuntu that has been released for many years has not fixed this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/489397 Title: Brightness adjustment goes crazy on Dell Inspiron 1370 Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: Binary package hint: hal Hitting brightness up or down the notification jumps 1-2 points higher and directly back to its old position.
