Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: pm-utils
On the MSI Wind U100, if brightness is adjusted with either the brightness
function keys or Ubuntu itself it gets itself stuck in a continuous loop
whereby the brightness applet(? - the pop up window) stays continuously on the
screen, and the brightness level toggles between the current setting and the
next brightness setting up (e.g. say 10% and 20% or 50% and 60% etc).
This also results in the brightness of the screen actually continuously
changing as well, making it very difficult to use.
This also occurs at startup, so from boot time onwards the brightness of the
backlight for the screen is flashing constantly.
A work around at the moment, is to set the brightness level in the
System-Preferences-Power Management to the lowest level.
This stops the screen from flashing continuously (unless you try and adjust the
screen brightness).
Thankfully the lowest level on the Wind is quite usable in most lighting
conditions.
