The lightsensor is almost working correctly on my ASUS x56TR notebook using Karmic.

I can adjust the brightness using te FN F5 en F6 keys, without any problem.
I can adjust the brightness using the brightness aplet in the panel without any problem.

The problem i experience is that when the screen gets dimmed (brightness is lowered due to light environment) the brightness applet still says that brightness is 100%, in fact it is only 50% or so. I enclosed a screen-shot showing the brightness of my screen is dimmed while brightness applet says it is full brightness.

3 questions:

1 can the applet be adjusted so that when the screen is dimmed the applet also says the screen is dimmed and not 100% bright
2 The screen gets to dark for me a lot of times working in a bright environment (daylight). The sensor dims to much. Maybe the sensitivity should be adjustable?
3 Is it not possible to add an easy option somewhere (perhaps in the brightness adjust applet) to disable the light-sensor?
