Public bug reported:

When I press the key to lower the screen brightness it immediately turns
the screen brightness to minimum but when I hit the key to increase the
screen brightness it turn my screen to 1/10 of it's maximum brightness
(my /sys/class/backlight offers 10 levels of brightness), thought if I
keep the increase brightness key pressed for a couple of seconds it
turns the screen brightness to maximum (it won't be able to scale with
the other screen brightness levels, it goes straight to maximum).
Interestingly though when I use Fedora 15 (older distributions of Fedora
won't work) brightness levels work just fine, so I think this used to be
a gnome-settings-daemon bug corrected with the release of gnome 3.
