Weird, I'm not seeing those. But don't let that worry you, I'm sure the next proper release will have those setting show up.

> I believe the effect of exponential steps is very much dependent on the characteristics of the LCD backlight. For my last two laptops, there are very visible differences between every step on the scale. Perhaps you can try reducing the number of steps to 6?

Tried that. Funnily enough, it did nothing to change the lower end. Now I have 3 steps that do nothing and 3 steps that quickly increase brightness :)

Seems like a large case of YMMV.
