The "acpi_osi=Linux" option is not working too well for me.

Just purchased a Eee PC 1005PEB-RRED01S (the red one with the 250GB SATA
HD).  Installed UNR 9.10 alongside Win7.  I also just upgraded the BIOS
to 0706 (was 0604).

Using the hotkeys, I am able to adjust the brightness level of the
backlight in a monotonic fashion (though not really linear, but that is
a minor quibble).

However, after adjusting the brightness, the backlight will sometimes go
dim after a few seconds.  If I adjust it back to a normal level, it will
sometimes go back to the dim setting again.

I have disabled Gnome option to automatically dim the screen, because at
first I thought that was the problem, but that didn't change the above
behavior.

Without the "acpi_osi=Linux" I definitely do not see this behavior, the
backlight adjustment is again non-monotonic, but the backlight
brightness does not change unexpectedly without user input.
