[Kamal Mostafa <kamal@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have posted an updated Maverick kernel
(2.6.35-24.40+kamal~mjgbacklight1 for Ubuntu 10.10) in my PPA
https://launchpad.net/~kamalmostafa/+archive/linux-kamal-mjgbacklight .
Users who have installed the PPA already don't need to take any special
action -- your system's "Update Manager" will take care of upgrading the
PPA automatically. This note is just for your information.

Official Ubuntu kernel status:  This backlight brightness patch is still
not yet included in official Ubuntu kernels because it is still being
debated upstream on the intel-gfx mailing list.  We'll move towards
getting this into the officlal Ubuntu kernels once it finally lands
upstream.

@Alexw - I am not planning to do any further work on the Lucid 2.6.32
kernel for this issue.

@Tito - I do plan to supply a patched Natty 2.6.36 kernel for this issue
in the near future.  I will use the same PPA and will announce here when
that's available.

People with the "crazy fan speed" problem - Is there reason to think
that the fan problem relates to the backlight brightness patch?  If not,
that problem should be reported separately.
