Comment 171 for bug 415023

@Beni Cherniavsky :
Your solution cannot work on any machine with karmic and gnome!:
You wrote:
"Another workaround (worked for me on MSI Wind): execute:

xrandr --set BACKLIGHT_CONTROL legacy

(I added it to Preferences -> Startup Applications.)
It changes the way the intel driver controls the hardware, somehow avoiding the feedback loop."

I tried this with a non satisfied result.....
pedro@pedro-netbook:~$ xrandr --output LVDS --set BACKLIGHT_CONTROL legacy
X Error of failed request: BadRROutput (invalid Output parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request: 149 (RANDR)
  Minor opcode of failed request: 15 (RRGetOutputProperty)
  Serial number of failed request: 24
  Current serial number in output stream: 24
pedro@pedro-netbook:~$

So can you please be more specific and reproof you result in #167?!

thx in advance ( we are all interested in your solution in specific your line isn't written correctly)

cheers
