[Bug 207473] Re: Screen brightness double level changes on Dell laptops

[Amir Khosroshahi]

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.
