Bug Description
Binary package hint: libindicate0
I have an Acer TravelMate 3260 laptop. In hardy, whenever I changed brightness, the OSD reflected it properly. However, in jaunty, the new notification system is erratic. I get a notification on changing the brightness, however even after my brightness is minimum, few bars are filled. Similarly, on increasing the brightness, even after the brightness is full, a few bars are empty.
A similar problem happened in intrepid too, when gnome-power-manager was being used to display the OSD on brightness adjustment. I have filed a bug for that here - https:/

notify-osd does not do anything specific here, and it's actually gnome-power-manager that sends the request. If gpm does not get the right value from the HW, then n-osd can't do anything here.
