Hi Bryce, I think that the screen brightness problem is still there in Ubuntu Oneiric.
I tested the 64 bits version of Ubuntu 11.10 Beta 2, as well. But, nothing yet; It still was this same problem there. Hence I went back to Ubuntu (but, Maverick) after I learned that Pardus has quite few applications on its repositories yet and, moreover, it hasn't 32bits support for the 64bits version (and an annoying restart-required or log- out/log-in required for any changes on the menu to appear after programs installation of its edition). I don't know whether it has something to do with the screen brightness bug in -many- laptops, but Phoronix has found out other power problems on latest Linux kernels: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_31_power_regress&num=1 All of these seem to be more than noticeable problems arising on Linux kernels lately. Why? I don't know, of course, but it dents Linux reputation of trustable, rock-solid OS. Perhaps, it would be better to secure current features before adding so quickly new ones to the kernel. But this is just my humble opinion.
