[Bug 1381851] Re: [Dell Latitude E5550] Brightness control does not work on this system

 

Yes, 
but it will be great if it could pass with 3.13 kernel,
in that case, we won't need to deal with the kernel upgrade issue like what we're dealing with recently (3.5 / 3.8 / 3.11 -> 3.13)

However, we should wait and see how many blocker would be solved on this
system, then we decide if it's worth to fix it in 3.13.
