Hi. After install CompizConfig Settings Manager (ccsm) and enable Backlight Toggles, there is an huge improvement: http://i.stack.imgur.com/Yj66g.png Thanks!
I'm wondering why such feature is not enabled by default. Do we really need install ccsm, and manually configure/tune up Unity? Is any chance to change this defaults (it is huge improvement for my friend in Unity usage)?
