Comment 15 for bug 148239

Apart from from that the keys do function in that the brightness is changed (bios 2.6.2 and 2.6.3) I can confirm all the output from Mait on my inspiron 1501, except the part from the powermanager. I do see that gnome does not pick up brightness changes (osd does show, but is always zero). In hardy alpha dim when idle does not work, dim when on battery not, etc. I'm on hardy alpha 3 btw.

power manager thingies, brightness down:
