Bug Description

Binary package hint: hal

I add in gnome-panel "Brightness Applet" V2.17.90 and message "Cannot get laptop panel brightness". Fn+F7 (Down brightness); Fn+F8(Up brightness) work fine.

My hardware:
* https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/CompaqPresarioV2417LA/

BIOS:
* http://www.bughost.org/pipermail/firmwarekit-results/2007-February/000094.html

I query in irc: #ubuntu-laptop and user <mdke> It suggested to inform problem in HAL.
