The Fedora reporter also tried Ubuntu 10.10, and attached many log
files, which may be useful to his report.

Contrary to what he says, though, and in key with what the Ubuntu bug
description says, using Fn+F3 to increase brightness is enough to see
Plymouth on my laptop (a dm4-1170sf). And maybe it's useful to restate
that this bug only affects Plymouth: when X is started, brightness is
always OK.

Still happens with kernel 2.6.38rc5, and with xorg-edgers PPA enabled,
FWIW.
