[Eric David Fielding <eric@xxxxxxxxxx>]

After fixing the problem by moving back to the older kernel, 
the backlight died permanently.  This made me think that it 
might not have been the kernel in the first place and that my 
backlight was simply near death.  I replaced the whole 
display panel and moved on to the next release of Ubuntu.  I 
am current with updates (kernels and all) and have no 
problems to report.

do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the
