I just tested Kubuntu 8.10 RC 1. The bug is still there. I didn't install. I just tested a live CD session. Actually the bug is worse now: My brightness controls only manage to switch between "dark as hell" and "pretty dark" (back and forth). "Pretty dark" is much too dark to do any work. Maybe "

When I tested Intrepid Ibex, the bug was still there, and I still needed to put "blacklist video" in "/etc/modprobe.d/local". That workaround is OK for me, but the bug should still be fixed. Others will want to use their brightness controls (the workaround disables them). The bug is clearly in the

In my case the brightness changes (dims) when I start a video in VLC, but not when I use any of the other video players that I have tested (Kaffeine e.g. works without any dimming). It also changes (dims) when I start a virtual OS in VirtualBox. The dimming actually happens several times during th
