[Bug 871628] [NEW] Brightness doesn't work correctly on iMac5, 1

 

Public bug reported:

The brightness slider on an iMac5,1 doesn't work correctly, that is,
when moved it flickers through higher and lower brightness levels, some
of then even turning the screen off while the slider is on the higher
values.

Also, when the screen sleeps the brightness goes off and the screen
doesn't turn on again when I move the mouse, even though the system
still works (is accessible via VNC).
