Bug#569596: xserver-xorg-core: Can no longer control backlight

So could you change the bug ticket to be a kernel bug then? I also read somewhere at the Ubuntu tracker it would be solved by disabling KMS so that's another proof it's a kernel bug. I would love to have it fixed till Squeeze reaches stable, since in Lenny it works pretty well. -- To UNSUBSCRIB

Same problem here using Squeeze. I just installed a few days ago. Also a Samsung Q45 laptop. $ lspci | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) $ ls -lah /sys/class/backlight/ total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Aug 15
