X41 (non tablet) owner here: and I've just upgraded to the latest
2.19.6-0ubuntu4 today - and I can now adjust the brightness of my laptop
using the Fn keys, however, the GPM brightness indicator that pops up
when I do is always either at zero, or at the one up from that. (This is
better than it was previously - when previously pressing one direction
would send it all the way to the maximum/minimum). However, dragging the
brightness bar inside GPM results in the screen flickering very rapidly
between full brightness and minimum brightness - as if the full range is
every 10% of the bar. And related to that, after setting the desired
brightness, and then moving between battery and AC results in the
incorrect brightness being set. This is an improvement, I guess, because
at the very least I can fall back onto my Fn keys now which act as
expected. I would consider this a big and serious regression from
Feisty, where the brightness worked fine - all except the gnome
brightness indicator would not be in sync with the actual brightness
when the Fn keys were used (however, the indicator would pop up, but its
value wouldn't change) - and I really hope its sorted before release!
