My Brightness levels when running 2.6.38-rc6 are much to low, I can change them
with the fn keys and /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0 but even the
highest setting 15 is far to low and barely readable indoors.
I've been running 2.6.37.1 where it works this is the first rc I tested.
My video adapter is reported by lspci as
