Public bug reported: When booting with 3.2.0-24-generic kernel the backlight adjustment stops functioning somewhere in the middle of the boot process (plymouth screen). When KDE is loaded, pressing the Fn-F6,F7 keys shows the backlight control bar, but actual brightness is not affected. However it works correctly when using the 3.2.0-18-generic kernel.
