This issue in the kernel part could be fix by the following 2 commits, and they are in linux 3.6
I'll submit the ubuntu SRU later, but we still need the g-s-d patch in comment #32 to be merged.
Some h/w that can adjust screen brightness through ACPI functions, but
can't turn on/off the backlight power correctly. So, we list those h/w in
quirks and try to turn on/off the backlight power through WMI.
