Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-image-
With a recent update to kernel 2.6.28 on Jaunty, backlight control on my Asus N20A has it all mixed up. The button to decrease backlight, increases it, and the button to increase it decreases it. Please let me know what additional information would be useful here.

I've found a workaround that might shed some light on the actual problem. If I remove the video module, the Fn-keys start working. On the other hand, gnome-power-manager seems to lose the ability to control the backlight. Reloading the video module again, solves both of these issues (except that the OSD indicating backlight does not appear anymore).
