Dear Ubuntu X team, thank you very much for all of your hard work! You get loads of bug reports and from my point of view you are handling it really well. The latest "ping" from your bot to check this bug out, prompted me to check the freedesktop bugzilla and search for similar brightness key bugs and try to figure out what is going on (
geez the big xorg trasision was so long ago surely they should have fixed it by now" - i though). Anyways I've searched the freedesktop bugzilla, learned about /sys/class/backlight/ and discovered that manually echoing the values into brightness file actually works just fine! Trying the gnome brightness applet also changed the brightness smoothly, as did the gnome power settings thing. How dumb did I feel! For 6 months it was a bug in pommed configuration which handles my brightness keys! Sorry for wasting your time and keep up the good work!

With regards,

Dmitrijs.
