My statement in #50 has some incorrectness. I thought unity does not
query current brightness, but accrording to Marco has addressed in #64
it is because upower always returns the cached brightness value.I do
agree the change has to be made at UPower side.
I also agree the commit c311de72495efdc75
Mario, yeah... Also ThinkPads have the same problem, because no event is
sent from the kernel.
So, I had the same idea you had to fix this. However the change has to
be done at UPower level, since if u-p-s (or you try with gdbus call)
calls GetBrigthtness it always get the last cached value.
