[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#487179: kpowersave: Same with Dell Latitude E6400

[Marcel Dischinger]

Package: kpowersave
Version: 0.7.3-2
Followup-For: Bug #487179

Hi,

I am seeing the same problem here. When kpowersave is active, using the key combination to increase or decrease the screen brightness always results in the brightness changing two steps for each key press. I can actually see the screen increasing the brightness by one, and then again by one with a short delay (within milliseconds).
My suspicion is that when pressing the key combination to increase (decrease) the screen brightness, the BIOS reacts and also in some way kpowersave (though I have no evidence for this at all).

Thanks,
Marcel
