Hi Bryce,

I think that the screen brightness problem is still there in Ubuntu
Oneiric.

I tested the 64 bits version of Ubuntu 11.10 Beta 2, as well. But,
nothing yet; It still was this same problem there. Hence I went back to
Ubuntu (but, Maverick) after I learned that Pardus has quite few
applications on its repositories yet and, moreover, it hasn't 32bits
support for the 64bits version (and an annoying restart-required or log-
out/log-in required for any changes on the menu to appear after programs
installation of its edition).

I don't know whether it has something to do with the screen brightness bug in -many- laptops, but Phoronix has found out other power problems on latest Linux kernels:

All of these seem to be more than noticeable problems arising on Linux
kernels lately. Why? I don't know, of course, but it dents Linux
reputation of trustable, rock-solid OS.

Perhaps, it would be better to secure current features before adding so
quickly new ones to the kernel. But this is just my humble opinion.

Rgds.,
Victor
