Brightness eys don't work and brightness applet can't connect to Gnome-power-manager

[smoosh]

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

I can change the brightness by using "echo 76 | sudo dd of=/proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness" for instance, but nothing else works. Not a huge problem, just trying to be a good tester!

Great, typo in the title. I meant "brightness keys don't work", not "brightness eys don't work". Ugh.

Thanks for the report, it has been some time without any response or feedback in this bug report and we are wondering if this is still an issue for you with the latest release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal, May you please test with that version and comment back if you're still having or not the issue? Please have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/download to know how to install that version.Thanks in advance and sorry for the late response.
