[Bug 600368] [NEW] macbook brightness causes login difficulty

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

When I leave my MacBook with the brightness turned to the lowest setting
(i.e. the monitor is virtually turned off and nothing is visible) and
the screensaver starts, thus locking the desktop, it is almost
impossible to log back in, because all I can see is a faint desktop in
the background, and the brightness control keys don't work in this mode.

Once logged in, the brightness keys work once again.
