Bug Description
On my Hardy daily-live 20071211 (amd64) with all updates until today, the change of brightness with the hotkeys Fn+upd/down works. But the status icon, that is displayed for a couple of seconds, when I change the brightness, is not showing the actual status of the display brightness, but always "0".
The display brightness icon you cann add the the panel, does not work either. My notebook is a Dell Inspiron 1501, output of 'lspci -vvnn' follows.

Still there in Hardy Alpha 3. But now the status bar is not displayed at all any more after I have installed all the updates that piled up over the last week. Instead, when I change the display brightness with 'Fn' + 'up' the display brightness changes as desired, but at the place, where the status bar should be, there is nothing. But switching to another window shows you, that this part of the screen 'memorized' the window, that was on top when I pressed the brightness and it doesn't fade away: I can still read the content of my browser window at this time there, although I have already minimized the browser...
