The original problem observed in gnome-power-manager (that is multiple levels change of back-light using Fn keys when g-p-m is running) is not yet resolved. It started for me after upgrading to 8.04 and is still there after upgrading to 8.10. My system is a Dell Inspiron 6400.

The odd thing I want to report is that after upgrading to 8.10, using Fn keys to adjust brightness changes the brightness randomly. At least in 8.04 it always changed in double levels. But now in Intrepid, using Fn keys, the brightness level changes by 1, 2 or 3 levels with no pattern and changes in a random fashion.

Another odd observation, IMHO, is that such a nasty bug that affects so many of us linger for so long. Where doth the problem lie?!
