Comment 8 for bug 115525

I must say that smartdimmer is what I am using now but it is kind of a poor man's solution.

First, the effect seems different from what it is obtained in Windows. Not sure how to describe it but it feels like if the screen was actually equally bright but you were just adjusting the colors. In short, it feels fake whereas in windows the brightness changes feel natural.

 Second, I wasn't able to make it remember the values. I put together two scripts to assign to Win+F5 and Win+F6 because the Fn+F5 and Fn+F6 don't work. Yet, Fn+P works. S1 and S2 button don't work either. I kind of regret buying this sony laptop without more care. Perhaps when they sell Dell+Kubuntu in Europe I will exchange it.
