Title:
  Brightness doesn't change anymore in X.Org / GNOME Shell in 14.10

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I have no idea to what package this belongs. Please file it under the
  correct one.

  Brightness doesn't change anymore in X.Org / GNOME Shell in 14.10. It
  stays on maximum (10) and sometimes the less brightness down/less key
  makes it go to 9 or 6. Each time I press the brightness down/less key,
  the overlay with brightness setting shows up (so the key works.

  I can set brightness to any level with
  echo 1 >/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
  echo 2 >/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
  ...
  echo 10 >/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
  and the display responds properly and I can read out the value with
  cat /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
  but changing it with keys only goes from 10 to 9 or 10 to 6.

  This used to work in older versions of Ubuntu. Please fix this and let me know how  I can fix this temporarily.
