[Florian Hars <fh+launchpad@xxxxxxx>]

Public bug reported:

In the default configuration, "Vari-Bright™" is enabled, which makes a
laptop mostly unusable, as it arbitrarily messes with the backlight
brightness, turning is so low that you cannot see anything on websites
with a dark background and so bright as to hurt the eyes in fullscreen
editor windows with white background, sometimes changing the brightness
if you scroll just one line or even pulsating with the rhythm of a
blinking cursor. That would be acceptable as a work of conceptual art,
but not in a productivity tool.

Fix: disable Vari-Bright™.
