Even though we know that the "linux-kamal-mjgbacklight" PPA kernel does work to enable brightness controls on many different models, lets leave the title of this bug as it was originally reported and not add any additional models to it. The reason being that if we keep adding additional models, we may never be able to manage to close the bug. I'm resetting the title accordingly.

People who test the PPA kernel and wish to report success should just file a comment to this bug listing their machines' make and model (which will help those searching for information about that model). Many thanks to all of you who have done that already. Your feedback is very useful.

People who test the PPA kernel but find that it does not fix their brightness controls should file a new separate bug report so that the details about that machine can be collected there.
