CID: 201306-13641 HP Pavilion 15
Steps:
1. Install 12.04.3 + updates (3.8.0-34), boot to desktop
2. Try to adjust screen brightness by the hotkeys
3. Try to adjust screen brightness by the "Brightness and Lock" applet
Expected Results:
* Brightness could be adjusted.
Actual Results:
* The birghtness level indicator will change, but the brightness won't.
Workaround:
Install the proprietart fglrx driver, however, bug 1264259 will make both of
these two bugs become blockers
