[Bug 315727] [NEW] brightness is not adjustable in kde4.2 Kubuntu

[paai]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdebase

The function keys on my md 96360 Medion laptop worked fine under kde
4.1. Somewhere after updating to 4.2, I found that starting on batteries
reduced brightness to dim (which is as it should be), but no way that it
returned to bright, even after restarting with the poweradaptor
attached. I have to start from the Windowspartition and set brightness
to full, before I can use my screen again under Kubuntu 8.10 !!!

Hitting the fn-f4/f5 keys tells me that brightness goes up or down, but
with no effect on the actual screen. The slidebars in the Powerdevil
setup are not adjustable.

It really would help if there was a separate utility that would set
brightness deep down, near the metal. As it is now, We are too
dependable from powersavers and other stuff.
