[Bug 78726] No intermediate brightness steps on Thinkpad

[rdschouw]

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 61184 ***

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: hotkey-setup

When I push Fn+End the brightness goes to the lowest setting.

When I push Fn+Home the brightness goes to the highest setting.

All intermediate steps are skipped.

When I push Fn+End twice (with 0.5 second pause) or Fn+Home twice the
lowering or raising of the brightness is cancelled somewhere halfway.
This is clearly visible in the Gnome brightness OSD.

Changing brightness through Power Manager works fine. All intermediate
steps are available.

Other hotkeys volume work fine.

Computer: Thinkpad Z60m
Environment: Gnome
