smartdimmer -i stopped working after upgrade to jaunty, though -d still works

Binary package hint: nvclock

After the upgarde to Jaunty RC, smartdimmer didn't work properly anymore:
  $ smartdimmer -g
  SmartDimmer level: 35
  $ smartdimmer -d
  $ smartdimmer -g
  SmartDimmer level: 30
  $ smartdimmer -i
  $ smartdimmer -g
  SmartDimmer level: 30
The problem appears to be that the nVidia driver now rounds down brightness values to a multiple of 5:
  $ smartdimmer -g
  SmartDimmer level: 30
  $ nvclock -S +1
  Changing Smartdimmer level from 30% to 31%
  New Smartdimmer level: 30%
  $ smartdimmer -g
  SmartDimmer level: 30
  $ nvclock -S +5
  Changing Smartdimmer level from 30% to 35%
  New Smartdimmer level: 35%
  $ smartdimmer -g
  SmartDimmer level: 35
Maybe smartdimmer should know about a minimum change value to just work(tm).

I can confirm this.

Same here. My limit value is now 15 although I could set it to 0 before.

nvclock -h Output:
-S --smartdimmer level Adjust brightness of the backlight; level is a value between 15 and 100 or a delta like +10/-
