Bug description:
  Binary package hint: devicekit-power

  A lot of laptop have no backlight (brightness support) because of missing kernel support, and waiting for fix in hal...
  In fact, the utility smartdimmer, in main repository, is providing everything need : a get and set method for backlight...

  As hal will be depreciated, it would be nice, if it could be fixed in
  devicekit... and people having vaios, samsung and so could after a
  couple of years have full power management !
