Still broken in 11.10, though broken in a different way. In 11.10 the
backlight toggle behaves the same as the adjacent 'backlight brightness
down' button. It should toggle the backlight on/off, not decrease the
backlight brightness incrementally.

** Changed in: gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu)
       Status: Expired => Confirmed

** Tags added: apport-collected oneiric

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
  
  My MacbookPro 3,1 has a keyboard backlight toggle button (F8) in
  addition to the keyboard backlight up/down buttons (F9/F10). The
  keyboard backlight up/down buttons correctly adjust the keyboard
  backlight and display a notification, but the toggle button doesn't. Do
  we need to handle GPM_BUTTON_KBD_BRIGHT_TOGGLE in addition to
  GPM_BUTTON_KBD_BRIGHT_[UP,DOWN] in the key-handling code in gpm-
  backlight-kbd.c?
