Public bug reported:

Sometimes, the screen brightness controls work on my laptop, and
sometimes they don't. I haven't noticed any pattern as to when it works
or doesn't.

When it doesn't work, I press Fn+F6/F7 to adjust the screen brightness.
The notification pop-up appears, showing the new brightness setting --
but the brightness doesn't actually change. Rebooting fixes the issue.
There is nothing in syslog or dmesg.
