Title:
  Screen brightness does not change

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  When I try to change the screen brightness using my Laptop's keyboard
  it shows me a "bar" that the screen brightness changes. However, the
  actual brightness does not change.

  If I tell the computer to change the brightness, then disconnect the
  charger, close the lid, wait a few seconds and re-open the lid the
  screen's actual brightness changes to the last one I set.

  This work-around works for me, but it is very annoying. If all I want
  to do is reduce brightness to save power I also need to make my
  computer sleep and wake it up again so that the brightness is applied.
  I do not have the immediate feedback to see if it is bright enough for
  my environment.
