Package: acpi Version: 1.4-2 Severity: important I have a Dell Inspiron laptop. The backlight brightness keyboard command, Fn-Up/Down, makes the screen to flicker either in X or in the text mode. This glitch has appeared recently after an update.
If the keys are pressed in Gnome, the screen brightness popup window stays on for a long time showing the brightness value to change a few times in a second, and eventually ends up reaching the value 0. The Gnome LCD brightness applet is unaffected as well as the direct parameter setting, e.g., "echo 1 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness" Only the keyboard commands are affected by the glitch.
