On my system (thinkpad X60s), with ii gnome-power-mana 2.19.6-0ubuntu2 frontend for gnome-powermanager
this is definitely still happening. In fact as I type this into the comment box, the brightness meter has stayed stuck on my screen the whole time. Also something seems to be setting the brightness about 20 times a second; my kernel logs are spammed with a continuous stream of [ 3556.044000] set_level status: 0 [ 3556.096000] set_level status: 0 [ 3556.148000] set_level status: 0 [ 3556.200000] set_level status: 0 [ 3556.248000] set_level status: 0 [ 3556.300000] set_level status: 0 [ 3556.348000] set_level status: 0 [ 3556.404000] set_level status: 0 [ 3556.456000] set_level status: 0 [ 3556.504000] set_level status: 0 which comes from the ACPI video driver.
