["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

J.P.Casainho, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an
issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.12

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  Acer AO522 brigtness level keys wrongly working

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When I change LCD backlight value using Fn + left/right keys, the
  backlight change in 3 steps each time where it should
  increase/decrease at 1 step.

  NOTE: This bug just happens when I used OpenSource ATI video drivers.
  If I use proprietary there is no bug.

  Max value is:
  root@cas-netbook:/home/cas# cat /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/max_brightness
  9

  Adjusting to lowest using keyboard and then starting increasing, I
  get:

  root@cas-netbook:/home/cas# cat /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
  0

  root@cas-netbook:/home/cas# cat /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
  3

  root@cas-netbook:/home/cas# cat /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
  6

  root@cas-netbook:/home/cas# cat /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
  9

  If I continue to increase with keyboard, the brightness value don't
  increase more then value 9.

  And, If I echo value 1 to brightness, increasing with keyboard, I cat
  the brightness and I get value 4, instead value 3 if brightness
  started with value 0.

  I simple don't get any event when I use the brightness key
  combination: Fn + arrow left/right. Here is an example of what I got:

  root@cas-netbook:/home/cas# input-events 4

  NOTE: Acer AO522 have an embedded controller. I documented some findings here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne522

  NOTE: Acer AO722 should be the same hardware as AO522 (AO722 have a
  resolution LCD of 1366x728 on a 11.6'' LCD while AO522 have a 1280x720
  on a 10.1'' LCD).
