This appears to be a lower level issue, maybe attached to how we're
talking to the hardware. (Perhaps it's related to how brightness keys
change screen brightness at the hardware level without signalling the
OS?).

Title:
  Screen flashes randomly when adjusting Brightness in System Settings
  -> Screen

Status in Unity Foundations:
  New
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
