Bug description:
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

Many of the recent Apple MacBooks have a large number of LCD backlight levels. 
The GPM uses XRandR to modify the backlight. However, the gpm-brightness-xrandr 
smooth brightness function does not take the number of brightness levels into 
account. On recent Macbooks, this leads to some 20000 brightness-set calls on 
startup, an activity that takes about one and a half minute. During this time, 
GPM is not responsive. Attached is a patch that introduces scaled stepping, 
which fixes the problem.
