Description of problem: When change screen backlight brightness with FN+arrows keys osd showing only max and min positions and brightness change, then go back, then set at desired level. At acer extensa 5635ZG, nvidia. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Appears since i use Fedora 16 december 2011 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: for example, we have level 8 (max) 1. hold fn+arrow 2. when set desired level release (level 1). Osd show start level and end level only (8,1,5,1). 3. Brightness will set to levels: 8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,5,4,3,2,1 Expected results: correct osd and no double control Additional info: At this machine, brigthness can be changed before OS boot, so i think fedora brightness control tool (or gnome-power-manager) and hardware control conflict with each other.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
