Public bug reported:
(From http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=364383 )
There is an issue in 91-reset-brightness-state.patch (and maybe some related
patches) where even if the hardware doesn't report a valid brightness, it will
try to dim the screen.
The patch defines LAPTOP_PANEL_CURRENT_BRIGHTNESS = -1, and then later
passes it to gpm_brightness_level_save, which compares it to itself,
causing the first IF to always be true (bypassing the error checking).
I'm not exactly sure how it crashes, as I haven't compiled it, but it
needs looking into.
Thanks Henrik Rosenø for reporting this one.
