Brightness notification uses old notification style [karmic regression]

[Asif Youssuff]

Binary package hint: notify-osd

I did a fresh install from the Karmic Alpha 1 cd, and when changing brightness using the fn keys on my laptop, the old notification comes up (centered on the screen, in the bottom half of the screen).

This worked fine in Juanty.

I've been having this problem, too. Also, I don't know if this is a related issue or not, but my brightness will go totally haywire sometimes, and will switch between different brightness levels constantly, forcing me to restart X. I'm using karmic, updated from jaunty, 2.6.30-6-generic. i386 (atom) on an MSI Wind.

This was fixed for me in a recent update. I now see the new notifications again.

Seeting as fix released, as the original reporter no longer experiences the issue.

I experience the bug since latest updates.

I'm using Alpha 3 of Karmic, and this bug is still persistant.

I'm using the generic driver and not the proprietary Nvidia driver.

Ditto; on Alpha 3 this bug seems to have reappeared. I'm using an intel video driver, if it matters.

1.) This is not a notify-osd issue, but a gnome-power-manager one.
