Brightness keys behaves wrongly (Dell)

[Lex]

User is unable to correctly set laptop monitor brightness via keyboard shortcuts. This currently allows to set only 3 levels of brightness (minimum, something in middle and maximum). This was perfectly working in previous Ubuntu 7.10. Please see screen shots with brightness OSD for details.

Dell Inspiron 6400

Ubuntu 8.04

Compiz

ATI graphic card

Workaround is to use Brightness Applet for setting brightness.

I Have exactly the same problem. when I execute
>lshal -m

  Start monitoring devicelist:
  -------------------------------------------------
  21:57:11.225: computer_logicaldev_input_1 condition ButtonPressed = brightness-up
  21:57:11.230: computer_logicaldev_input condition ButtonPressed = brightness-up
  21:57:11.230: platform_i8042_i8042_KBD_port_logicaldev_input condition ButtonPressed = brightness-up
  21:57:11.434: platform_i8042_i8042_KBD_port_logicaldev_input condition ButtonPressed = brightness-up

It appears to be logged twice every fn key+udown brightness keypressing.
I have a laptop Vostro 1400.
