Public bug reported: In my laptop i have 2 entries under /sys/class/backlight
* acpi_video0 * toshiba if if echo to acpi_video0 the brightness works, if i do to toshiba it does nothing. Gnome seems to only pick toshiba and there is no way to tell it to use acpi_video0 instead. BTW i have a toshiba laptop so i assume the toshiba entry is correct.
