There are still big amount of laptops where the brightness is
incorrectly adjusted by 2 or 3 steps per one brightness key press.

Hello,
I have this exact same issue on 12.04 32bits on Dell VOSTRO 3450.
I am a bit confused of all the posts above... is there a patch for 12.04 at the
end?
Short instruction on how to apply the patch will be highly appreciated

Why are you guys marking the g-p-m bug invalid?
Because see previous comments.
g-s-d handles media keys. This bug is appeared, because we have a case, when
g-s-d should handle brightness keys differently.

In order for this patch to apply properly, it should be applied last,
after all ubuntu patches. In you case you don't have any of them
applied.
If you got package from packages.ubuntu.com, there are 2 source files:

Patch 16_use_synchronous_notifications.patch -- is the one, that my patch
heavily depends on.
Also, as far, as I understand, it's incompatible with debian.
To make patch for debian, I need to understand, where to get correct

I'm using Debian Wheezy, but I tried it on Ubuntu's 3.2.2 source package
and it failed with the same error.
I tried unpacking the package and using patch -p1
52_brightness_in_hardware.patch, and that didn't work.
I tried putting it in the debian/patches directory and using dpkg-buildpackage,
Hmm... really strange.
I made patch ubuntu 11.10, g-s-d 3.2.2-0ubuntu2.1. May be you upgraded to 12.04
already?
Actually, I should make patch for 12.04, as it's latest stable now. Will do
this bit later.

Sorry, I didn't write instruction:
- put the file into debian/patches/ dir
- add line 52_brightness_in_hardware.patch to 'series' file in that dir (not
sure if this step is required)
- build package as usual
This patch should be applied last, after all ubuntu/debian patches.
That's why it fails.
Patch didn't work for me. What gnome-settings-daemon version did you
work on? (3.2.2 here)

My patch is similar to one in comment #15.
Differences are:
- it uses gsettings api (commonly used by g-s-d now)
- it doesn't break StepUp/StepDown dbus methods
- it's smaller

James: no, there is no need to touch kernel. You should have noticed,
that brightness control works as expected, before you login (during boot
or even on login screen).
Problem is in user-level process running during user session. We have to
find that process, than fix will be pretty simple.

Oh, that was about g-s-d source!

Oh yeah! #24 is really dirty one!
But it gave me a clue, how this bug should be fixed:
Patching StepUp/StepDown handlers is very bad practice, because these methods
may be called by some other applications. We need to prevent calls to these
methods depending on some parameter.
The problem
I would change status on g-p-m to 'Invalid' and assign bug to other
package.

Dmitriy: Yes it is a dirty hack :) I don't know of any other
applications that would increment the backlight up and down, and GNOME's
ability to set the brightness to a specific percentage (without going
through steps inbetween) *should* still be functional with it...although

This patch is for GNOME 3.2 that permanently disables gnome-settings-
deamon's ability to step-up and step-down the backlight. For those who
still can't get the correct brightness steps, this is a workaround. It
works perfectly on my Lenovo Thinkpad x220.

Please note that the above patch is ONLY for those encountering this
problem and should definitely be used ONLY on an individual basis. It
will break backlight control for everyone else using GNOME 3.2.

This bug is still a problem in Oneric.The version of Gnome Power Manager
is completely different (3.1.3). Is there a fix possible for this? The
bug is exactly the same. Two brightness levels when only one is needed.
