Title:
  Screen brighness randomly changes on Lenovo Y560 laptop

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

Bug description:
  My installation of Ubuntu 11.04 randomly changes screen brightness without input from the user. The time between brightness changes can be from hours to seconds.
  Changing the brightness back manually temporarily fixes this until it changes again.
