This is a really old bug (ran across it cleaning out old community wiki pages). Does anybody still have the hardware to test this with the latest version of Ubuntu?

When problem happened: Doing an update from the Beta CD to what was available on Sunday October 14th 2007. After that the screen was on it's lowest dim setting, and none of the sliders would change the brightness. It is as if the control panel is still there, but is no longer sending a signal to the right place that it used to in the beta cd.
