Can anyone provide a workaround first? For example how to prevent light sensor from working at all, disable the module or kernel feature that uses it.

When running on battery, the screen changes brightness frequently, by itself, while there are little change in ambience light. In fact, if I just place it stablly on the table and observe from distance, it turns bright and dark all by itself happyly, once a few seconds. It is unbearable to use. I installed brightness control applet "indicator-brightness", and hoped manual control overwrites automatic ambience light sensor. But no, automatic sensor overwrites manual setting. If I set brightness to 10, for example, it is bright for one second, and back to darkness. I urgenly need a workaround - a method to turn off light sensor and force always brightest light output. Kindly offer a workaround before solving this bug. Thanks! My hardware and system is the same when I reported bug 1318639 - and the bug always exists since I installed the OS in day 1.
