Bug Description
Binary package hint: acpi
All worked on hardy.
On Intrepid when i try to scroll brightness-applet icon with mouse, brightness is changing correctly, but when i click the icon, the center of icon changes to red "disabled" mark and i can change brightness with moving bar up and down and 'scrolling the icon'.
If i will not click the icon it stays normal. When mouse is over icon, there is notification "cannot get laptop panel brightness" (but in hardy it was showing brightness level in % correctly).
Changing brightness with fn + F* keys works ok.
I saw this bug first in alpha4 then alhpa5 and every time since 8.10 was released. I haven't try to use 9.04 yet.
Laptop config:
Comal FL90
Graphics: nvidia 8600m GT (driver 177)
and c2d t7500, 2gb ram etc.
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. I have confirmed this is happening to me too on Ubuntu 8.10 using nVidia Corporation GeForce 8800M GTX
