Same here on a Lenovo Thinkpad W510. The brightness sliider in settings does not work as well as the hardware keys. I am using Nvidia drivers. What is also interesting is that I rebooted 2 times before now and the hardware keys did not even bring up the brightness slider overlay on the top right, but after the latest reboot it appears it is back but just doesn't do anything.

After checking the System Settings, Brightness and Lock there is no longer any brightness slider bar shown for manual setting either. So my screen is fixed on full brightness. I'll attach screen shots showing the difference before and after the update. == Regression details == Discovered in version: 3.3.91-0ubuntu1 Last known good version: 3.3.90-0ubuntu4 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: gnome-settings-daemon 3.3.91-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-18.28-generic 3.2.9 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-18-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 1.94-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 CheckboxSubmission: dd7f729683fa7fd3f2e256ba311e86cb CheckboxSystem: d00f84de8a555815fa1c4660280da308 Date: Mon Mar 5 21:36:12 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Beta amd64 (20111006) SourcePackage: gnome-settings-daemon UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/947748/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
