Description Bastien Nocera 2012-02-01 13:14:45 UTC 
The brightness exposed by the drivers is passed through unmodified to the media-keys plugin in gsd and the Brightness and Lock panel.

Instead, it should be passed in such a way that dimming the screen doesn't change the brightness as shown in those.
