Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
Similar to -- but not the same as -- other bug reports about brightness issues on laptops.
Simply put, Fn+up does what Fn+down should do (makes the screen dimmer), and Fn+down does what Fn+up should do (make the screen brighter).
It also seems to skip a brightness level (only five brightness levels). There is no slider for screen brightness under System - Power Manager.
Release: Ubuntu 8.04 beta
Package version: 2.22.1-1ubuntu4
Expect to happen: Fn+up makes screen brighter, Fn+down makes screen dimmer
What actually happens: Fn+up makes screen dimmer, Fn+down makes screen brighter.
Kernel: 2.6.24-16-generic
Gfx card: Intel GM965/GL960
Machine: Lenovo Ideapad Y510
Not sure if I need to post more info.
