> With the patch applied, on the General tab of Xfce Power Manager,
there should be a "Brightness step count" field and an "Exponential"
checkbox next to it.

Weird, I'm not seeing those. But don't let that worry you, I'm sure the
next proper release will have those setting show up.

> I believe the effect of exponential steps is very much dependent on
the characteristics of the LCD backlight.  For my last two laptops,
there are very visible differences between every step on the scale.
Perhaps you can try reducing the number of steps to 6?

Tried that. Funnily enough, it did nothing to change the lower end. Now
I have 3 steps that do nothing and 3 steps that quickly increase
brightness :)

Seems like a large case of YMMV.
