Title:
  Cannot change the brightness on Samsung P560 Plavos

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

Bug description:
  It is not possible to change the brightness on my Samsung p560 Laptop.
  The OSD shows up when using the brightness keys, but the brightness is not changed. I am not sure which package this problem is in. I can only change the brightness before booting ubuntu.

  I have the Intel GMA4500 gpu, and this has been an issue since around 9.04. 
  There is some information in this bugreport: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/338182, which describes a different issue. 
  And an old bugreport set as wont fix: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/338173
  Sadly any nvidia tools will not help.

  I currently have a clean install of:

  Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
  Description:	Ubuntu 11.10
  Release:	11.10
  Codename:	oneiric

  Kernel: 3.0.0-12-generic-pae #20-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 7 16:37:17 UTC
