Comment 7 for bug 347623

Kernel version 2.6.28-12.43 from the directory mentioned above fixes the this bug on my Q45 for the most part. when you hold fn+down the brightness behaves as expected. both holding and tapping reduce brightness.

But...

1. When you hold fn+up the brightness doesn't continue to get brighter, i.e. you need to tap up furiously as it only works in steps.

2. Also fn+left/right arrow keys still don't work for changing the volume. They worked out of the box with xubuntu 8.04,

3. There must a way to lower the amount of steps from full brightness to no brightness??? (it's currently a wrist killing 80+ steps!!!)

Can you look into this again please Colin?? Thanks for all your help hitherto!
