Bernhard, thanks for testing and the feedback. Just fy, the upcoming
kernel for the Karmic release will actually target the 2.6.31 kernel.
Since the 2.6.30 kernel sounds promising to fix this issue, I wouldn't
expect this issue to regress when the kernel is bumped to 2.6.31. The
2.6.30 based
Thanks for letting us know the issue is resolved.

I just played around a little with the 2.6.30 kernels from the jaunty
repo (thx for putting them in!) and this particular problem seems to be
fixed there.

[This is an automatic notification.]
A new major version of the -intel driver is now available in Karmic.
This version includes a major reworking of the acceleration
architecture, which resolves a huge number of issues. We do not know
whether it resolves the issue you reported.
Would you mind
I can confirm the same behavious as Bernhard, in that I suffer the
random backlight flashes when moving the cursor following a period of
inactivity, and running
xrandr --output LVDS --set BACKLIGHT_CONTROL combination
corrects the problem.

I used Aldrin's advice from bug 367309 and that actually fixes my
problem with the bizarre brightness settings (I have yet to long-term-
test if the flashes go away as well). You type
xrandr --output LVDS --set BACKLIGHT_CONTROL combination
and the brightness behavior is completely normal again.

Maybe it could be fixed since many people have this intel video card.
Shouldn't it be fixed in xserver-xorg-video-intel?
I don't think everyone with the same video card has this problem, it's
probably specific to the Amilo or even your particular model. I have
the same video chipset as you have
Unfortunately I was wrong, I still get these flashes even with xserver-
xorg-video-intel 2.7. They seemed to get better but today they are back.
Even with metacity window manager.
Yesterday I even installed the 2.26.30 kernel for a while but I couldn't
adjust any brightness settings in that one
Apparently, there are many ways to control the backlight, and while
using the kernel is the default on your hardware, it is possible to
change that with xrandr. Take a look at bug 367309 for how to do this.
Could you check if you have the same weird behavior with the other
settings?

I updated xorg-xserver-video-intel to 2.7 today and haven't had any
flashes since (still testing though). But the strange brightness
hierarchy (see description on top) remains. I wonder if bug 367309 is a
duplicate of this one.

[i965] Wierd backlight brightness behaviour looks like flashes on
Actually, hard to tell if it's a duplicate or not. The reporter of bug
367309 talks about a range 0-296 and if I type xrandr --prop, then I
only have the range 0-7.

The bugs are similar, but I'm not sure they are duplicate since it seems
to be on different hardware and the default backlight control is
different. I have tagged both bugs with the backlight tag, though, so
if a solution comes up for one, the other bugs with that tag can be
checked.

This problem still persists with Kernel 2.6.28.11-generic. Could we get
some feedback from the kernel people to confirm if it's really a kernel
bug?
