Description yimboka 2011-02-03 14:48:23 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                Linux

Hello,
When I decrease the brightness by using hotkeys from my laptop, the minimal brightness that OSD shows is not the minimum possible.

This command will help you to know what I mean :

cat /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness 
levels:  70 50 20 30 40 60 80 90 100

When the OSD shows the minimum brightness, the brightness is at ... 70 ! instead of 20.
I need to play with the OSD to find the minimal brightness.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Decrease the brightness using hotkeys, and see the OSD.

Git commit 63d38bdb6a98e3e74b24c2cd88233b7d24a2900f by Alex Fiestas.
Committed on 30/09/2011 at 23:32.
Pushed by afiestas into branch 'master'.

Added intel_backlight and radeon_bl, and priority changed

Apart from adding two new needed modules, I have modified the
priority of the modules prioritizing the GPU drivers, that's
because they usually know better the steps than the "laptop model"
one.
