Argl! Sorry, I've sent you the output after my
"tosh-video_brightnessdown" tests (which should actually fire up
"video_brightnessdown.sh")...

Please ignore these two lines I will send you the correct output as

Thanks for the link! I will have a look at it.
To double check again: Installing the 2.6.31 kernel is enough? (I
had no intension on upgrading to karmic.)
