Comment 3 for bug 516354

I am experiencing this bug, both with the 2.6.31-19-generic and 2.6.31-17-generic kernels. I am, however, able to adjust the screen brightness using the F1 and F2 brightness buttons (pushing them without holding down the fn key). The problem however is that the brightness increments or decrements very, very slowly and in tiny amounts. Earlier releases had much larger increment and decrement amounts, and were much more usable. Can we please get back these old values for the brightness increment/decrement?
