Package: kernel
Severity: normal

On the ul80vt / ul30vt asus laptop range, the backlight is not being set as it should be by gnome / most applications and the keyboard shortcut assigned by asus.
If you look at http://forum.notebookreview.com/5665108-post1246.html
One can edit some acpi files and use 'setpci' to change the brightness of the laptop's display.

e.g. 
setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=${brightness}
This will allow you to use the laptop hotkeys to change the brightness level. 
However, this will not result in gnome gaining the capacity to 'autodim'.

I have filed this as a kernel bug, but this might be an acpi bug.
The issue exists on debian squeeze and debian lenny. It is also present on a 2.6.35.2 kernel.

Hi,
your bug has been filed against the "linux-2.6" source package and was filed for
a kernel older than the recently released Debian 7.0 / Wheezy with a severity
less than important.

We don't have the ressources to reproduce the complete backlog of all older kernel
bugs, so we're closing this bug for now. If you can reproduce the bug with Debian Wheezy
or a more recent kernel from testing or unstable, please reopen the bug by sending
a mail to control@bugs.debian.org with the following three commands included in the
mail:

reopen BUGNUMBER
reassign BUGNUMBER src:linux
thanks

Cheers,
        Moritz
