Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: hal
Your new "Brightness" applet that now ships with Gnome 2.18 does not work with
Ubuntu Feisty because you have built HAL without --with-dell-backlight
Please recompile HAL and include this build flag. I filed a bug at gnome.org,
but the maintainer told me that this is an ubuntu bug, because HAL is not built
correctly. This will mean that you will have to include the libsmbios package
on ubuntu by default. It's needed though, because without it the brightness
applet just doesn't work.
** Affects: hal (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
