This bug was fixed in the package xserver-xorg-video-intel - 2:2.2.1-1ubuntu11
--------------- xserver-xorg-video-intel (2:2.2.1-1ubuntu11) hardy; urgency=low * debian/patches/16_legacy_backlight_blc_pwn_ctl.patch: - Fixes issue where gdm, opengl apps, and vlc resets brightness to xbacklight value on i915, by switching from BCM_LEGACY to BCM_COMBO. This won't affect users using the kernel's /sys/class/backlight interfaces for managing the backlight, but should produce better results for the majority of legacy bit users.
