I also have "Phoenix Technologies, LTD" on my dmidecode output..
This is on my Dell Studio 1535, I bought it from dell.com/ubuntu w/ Hardy on it
originally and the brightness function key combo worked fine on Hardy, but
after upgrading to Intrepid, weird things happened with the brightnes function
keys and applet.
If I try to change the brightness, the bar on the brightness applet that
comes up is not synchronized with the actual brightness of the screen.
If i go to lower the brightness, the screen will get dimmer in
increments as it's supposed to, but the bar on the applet with drop to
the far left like I turned the brightness all the way down. The keyboard
also doesn't respond properly after adjusting brightness, and the applet
doesn't go away. If I switch to another tty and back again, all is
normal, the brightness applet is gone and the keyboard works fine.
