There's something strange here.. I'm running an even older version -
1.2.1, which is standard in Intrepid:
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ~$ cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=intrepid
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 8.10"
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ~$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log
...
(II) Matched radeonhd from file name radeonhd.ids
(II) Matched radeon from file name radeon.ids
(==) Matched radeonhd for the autoconfigured driver
(==) Assigned the driver to the xf86ConfigLayout
(II) LoadModule: "radeonhd"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//radeonhd_drv.so
(II) Module radeonhd: vendor="AMD GPG"
compiled for 1.5.0, module version = 1.2.1
Module class: X.Org Video Driver
ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 4.1
...
And both the pop up and the actual modification of brightness work for
me.
