Public bug reported:
the brightness adjusts in 3 steps, i thought it was annoying but
adjustable in gconf; finally investigated and saw it wasn't :]
if i echo 0 > /sys/module/video/parameters/brightness_switch_enabled it
reduces one of the extra steps
if i killall gnome-power-manager i get no backlight adjustment, from my
understanding its solely responsible, but i can't find the extra
brightness event input, acpi_listen shows the video adjustment, as does
input-events 4 (the video device)
X opens the video event device as an input but i don't know if that
means g-p-m will see it as another event
hoping someone can tell me more about g-p-m and where it gathers events
so i can finish investigating, or solve the bug outright :]
