Comment 112 for bug 207473

I made a mistake. There 8 levels of brightness reported, and the brightness
pop-up also shows 8 levels correctly.
The problem is that one level is sometimes jumped over randomly. I'll read
the link you sent more carefully again and try find the source of the
problem.

Thanks.
