apport information

** Tags added: trusty

** Description changed:

  The Dell M1330 backlight has exactly 8 levels of brightness. I expect
  each press of the brightness adjustment keys to change the brightness by
  one level. When I use the keyboard to adjust the brightness in GNOME, it
  sometimes changes by one level, and sometimes changes by two levels.
  
  In Karmic, the buttons worked like I have describe above. In Lucid, everything worked correctly. In Maverick (and every subsequent release at least through Precise), we're back to the same behavior as in Karmic. So this is a regression in functionality.

Title:
  Maverick (through Precise) regression: Dell M1330 backlight brightness
  messed up

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The Dell M1330 backlight has exactly 8 levels of brightness. I expect
  each press of the brightness adjustment keys to change the brightness
  by one level. When I use the keyboard to adjust the brightness in
  GNOME, it sometimes changes by one level, and sometimes changes by two
  levels.

  In Karmic, the buttons worked like I have describe above. In Lucid, everything worked correctly. In Maverick (and every subsequent release at least through Precise), we're back to the same behavior as in Karmic. So this is a regression in functionality.
