Bug Description
Description: Ubuntu 8.10
Release: 8.10
What I expected to happen:
When I try to lower the backlight brightness via brightness applet or brightness keys on the keyboard the screen brightness should lower.
What happened instead:
Though there is a graphical indication that the setting was changed the brightness stays full ( which drastically reduces battery life ).

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it without more information.
Please include the following additional information, if you have not already done so (pay attention to lspci's additional options), as required by the Ubuntu Kernel Team:
1. Please include the output of the command "uname -a" in your next response. It should be one, long line of text which includes the exact kernel version you're running, as well as the CPU architecture.
2. Please run the command "dmesg > dmesg.log" after a fresh boot and attach the resulting file "dmesg.log" to this bug report.
3. Please run the command "sudo lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log" and attach the resulting file "lspci-vvnn.log" to this bug report.
