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.
