** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
  
  Toshiba satellite A210P with ATI graphic card, running  Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 
kernel 2.6.31-10-rt (kernel 2.6.32 also affected).
  issue in gnome-power-manager 2.30.0-0ubuntu1
  After installing omnibook module (for bluetooth) and proprietary ATI driver 
gnome-power-manager cannot read and change LCD brightness. The applet slider is 
stuck at the upper position. Brightness can only be changed by pressing Fn 
keys. In karmic, everything worked fine.
  
  The keys can be disabled by modprobe -r video. However, the situation with 
g-p-m remains.
  Blacklisting omnibook did not solve the issue.
  
  cat /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness
- returns: 
+ returns:
  levels:  0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70
  current: 70
  
  Trying to echo anything to /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness fails
  with access denied error, even as superuser.
  
  Dmesg after pressing Fn keys returns:

+ Adding GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=”acpi_backlight=vendor” disables both keys and
+ g-p-m.
