Bug#509307: xbacklight: -set does nothing if it thinks the setting is already correct
Package: xbacklight
Severity: normal
xbacklight -set sometimes has no effect. For example, when I suspend and
resume my laptop, the backlight is reset to 100%, but is still reported
as whatever I set it to before. xbacklight seems to do nothing if I try
to set it to the same value; instead, I must first set it to a different
value.
