Bug#432516: xbacklight: randomizes brightnesses on i810
Package: xbacklight
Version: 1.1-1
Severity: important
First of all: It does something! Great work! Unfortunately it's not
really ready to use on my system yet. Especially I don't really know
which package this bugreport really applies to, so please forward it to
whatever package you think to be more appropriate.
Hardware: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics
Controller driven by i810 (xserver-xorg-video-intel).
Observation: When running xbacklight --set somevalue it flickers a bit
and seems to set a random brightness where setting to some value always
results in the same brightness. 100% looks like 50%, 98% looks like
100%, 50% looks like 100% again with other values in between. I have not
further investigated this, but can do so if needed.
