Bug Description

Whenever the Fn keys for brightness control are pressed the backlight of the screen starts to oscillate from dimmer to brighter. Also if the computer is changed from battery mode to Ac mode or backwards the problem arises. Adjusting the brightness with slider in Power Management generates the same problem. After between 5 to 10 minutes the oscillation stops.

I did not have this problem in Jaunty.

I am using Karmic Koala RC.
