[Bug 513921] Re: hotkeys adjust display brightness non-monotonically on new Asus pinetrail netbooks (1001P, 1005P, 1005PE)

[Dave Gluss]

There are a lot of faulty BIOS's out there...and besides, the 1005PE
didn't work right until a BIOS upgrade anyway.  It would be nice of
them to make it just work, but adding an OSI string didn't seem like a
big burden.  My 1005PE works great now.  Did I mention 6-8 hours of
battery life? If I could get 5 sec boot time, I'd enter 5 OSI strings
if necessary.
