Comment 289 for bug 415023

Yesterday I installed the netbook remix 9.10 and am having the problem described above (brightness flickering) on my MSI wind u100. While this brightness is flickering is happening, I'm experiencing some serious system slowdown. It will occasionally stop, but the problem will reoccur when i hit a brightness key. My level of expertise in ubuntu is low, so I'd like a very detailed solution for this problem.
