Comment 66 for bug 1007765

Been affected by this for several months now with no good solution in sight. It also crashes when i use the change brightness option in the user preferences. And of course it happens when i use the shortcut keys to change brightness provided on the laptop. I have a dell inspiron and the 64-bit version.

And as someone else mentioned before, this occurs only when you try to agressively change the brightness. A slow brightness change doesnt cause the crash. A frustrating problem. Have actually started using windows at times now.
