Bug Description
Every time I open a video file in vlc brightness is changed to xbacklight value (which seems to bee 33.3 per default). If I use my laptop brightness keys afterwards it jumps to previous brightness postion +- one. This doesn't happen when the X11 output is used.
If I change the driver from -intel to -vesa the problem is gone so I guess it is partly a driver issue. Since Totem and mplayer haven't this problem it is more a vlc one.
If I change the value with xbacklight it directly takes effect but could be changed through the laptop brightness keys. If I set xbacklight to 100 brightness goes always to maximum when vlc plays a video file and if I set it to 0 minimum brightness is shown.
I am using current Hardy and the brightness keys are using sony-laptop.
It worked fine in Gutsy and previous releases.
vlc: Installed: 0.8.6.release.
