Description William Jon McCann 2012-04-19 20:43:00 UTC 
Attach an external LCD and turn off the internal LCD (or dock it). Then use the brightness keys on the internal or external keyboard.

I don't really expect them to work - or to at least show feedback that there is no change possible. However, what I see is the slider go from zero to one step but no farther. And back to zero if I ask for lowering the brightness.

Hmm, I can reproduce. Debugging now.
