Hi Mathieu,

Thanks for the reply.

I just guess there is a general issue with Dell systems.

There might be an issue with the kernel, or the gnome-power-manager.
The issue never happened on different OSes with lower kernel revisions like Fedora 13, 14 and Centos AND RHEL 5 and 6.
Also, Solaris 10 & 11 Express and OpenSolaris act very good. 
They seem to overpassed this issue. 

 Best regards.

Title:
  Adjusting display brightness is very slow on Dell E5410 with Natty.

Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Changing the brightness via FN key combination or via the brightness applet is very slow.
  the CPUs don't seem to go to 100%, but the adjustment process seems relatively slow.
  The mouse cursor is also sluggish.
  Reinstalled the OS twice, but not because of this issue and the problem seems to persist.
