Public bug reported: Problem: When I press the laptop screen brighteness, each step yield an event that is displayed on the OSD but the screen brightness doesn't change until the third press. Same happens for decreasing or increasing the brightness.
Exepcted behaviour: Each press of the brightness button on the laptop, yield a visible change in the brightness of the LCD scree. Workaround: This seems documented and works perfectly. The work around is to type this in terminal: sudo sh -c 'echo -n 0 > /sys/module/video/parameters/brightness_switch_enabled' More details are here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/173921/why-does- my-thinkpad-brightness-control-skip-steps I think this should be fixed in 13.10.
