[Bug 844235] [NEW] Screen flashes randomly when adjusting Brightness in System Settings -> Screen

 

Public bug reported:

Netbook: HP Mini 1120NR

When adjusting the Brightness using System Settings -> Screen the screen
will flash randomly. It flashes between full dim, full bright, and a
random brightness value or the brightness value of the slider as you
drag it.

Sometimes the slider does not move when you drag it; it pops into place
when you release it.
