Public bug reported: Binary package hint: acpi
The brightness keys seem to work fine on a cold start - but after hibernating or suspending, or even switching from AC to battery, the brightness keys don't work properly. Intended effect: Brightness-Up and -Down keys increment monitor brightness by equal amounts (to a maximum of 15) Actual effect: Brightness is incremented by seemingly random amounts, and on occasion, brightness will randomly jump to an arbitrary value. Notes: Writing to /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness works fine. Just the hotkeys are malfunctioning.
