[Bug 619726] Re: [regression, maverick] LCD backlight brightness steps are inconsistent

 

apport information

** Tags added: apport-collected natty ubuntu

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xorg
  
  I have early 2006 Macbook (1.1) changing the LCD brightness using the
  keyboard keys previously resulted in smooth brightness changes (from 0%
  <-> 100%). I've upgraded to maverick yesterday and the "minus"
  brightness key when going from 100% results in flickering cycles (100%
  -> 0% -> 50% -> 0% -> 100% -> 0%).
  
  This is a regression from Lucid and Karmic, while Jaunty and before had
  the same flickering.
