Bug Description

The problem seems to occur when the laptop is running on battery. The screens brightness varies very quickly up and down in an seemingly uncontrolled manner (the brightness itself doesn't vary very much, but enough for the eye to notice). After a few seconds of flickering, the brightness-level settles, but only to start flickering again a little later.

1. 'uname -a' :

Linux christian-laptop 2.6.20-15-generic #2 SMP Sun Apr 15 07:36:31 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

2. 'dmes > dmesg.log' : Resulting file attached

3. 'sudo lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log' : Resulting file attached

Sounds like hardware error. Is this not happening with other OS?
