Created attachment 440437 [details] gnome-power-manager-2.31.90-fix-step-for-legacy-backlight.patch The "legacy fallback" backlight handling code in gnome-power-manager increments/decrements the backlight value by one whenever the brightness buttons are pressed. On systems like the Apple MacBook, where the backlight has upwards of 1024 brightness levels, this doesn't work. The attached patch uses the gpm_brightness_get_step function (like the xrandr-based code does) to properly step the backlight value.
