Well... whether you were talking to me or not. :P I just thought you
were referring to me since I also filed one prior. There really is
enough here to call it fixed though. We haven't heard anyone come back
yet disagreeing about the current state. Hurray for an extremely lengthy
bug going away.
On Jaunty with latest updates I now get 9 steps for the backlight with the
Fn key combination.
When I installed (Alpha 3) there were only 5 steps, so some update changed
it.
9 steps (while an odd number) is working a lot better now, and much more
usable because the difference between the steps is
Backlight control from hotkeys is now working on a fresh installation of

More than 5 brightness steps would be better though, perhaps 10 would be

To be honest, with the patch I'm using in stable, I get 20 steps. I find
this just a slight tad to many. mostly because I feel it should have a
little better flow. 19 to 20 goes from I'd like this a little darker to
completely black. Perhaps 15 would be a good number?

Before changing it like this, make sure nvclock does handle decrementing
below zero and does not crash, if you request descreasing -S -10 when on
0, if that does ignore it. If it is, it is safe make it very simple. I
recommend backup of original files. It should be safe making entire new
files,
It does handle border values:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ nvclock -S -10
Changing Smartdimmer level from 30% to 20%
New Smartdimmer level: 20%
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ nvclock -S -10
Error: The proposed Smartdimmer change would result in a brightness level lower
than 15% or higher than 100%.

Ok, sorry, dont have that tool as i dont have nvidia, just guessed where it
could be and missed.
Problem is with Segmentation fault line between handler messages. That is
result with which program ended, which means, program crashed (fault of
program, never should do that).
So, try running
