laptop brightness panel

[Ali Abdallah]

I hope that the acpi brightness will be implemented in upower, for me 
the correct thing is to have the brightness support working for most of 
the people, i recall we had this discussion before and for whatever 
reason it was said that all the brightness support should be on the 
xrandr part, which we know it is not going to happen, or it is not going 
to happen any time soon, in the meanwhile, from my side "xfce" 90% of 
the users, including myself, lost their brightness support when dropping 
HAL completely.

I care about this because it is funny in 2011 to don't be able to change 
the brightness level of a laptop, laptops will be consuming more power 
which is not green, and people will damage their eyes if working on a 
full brightness level laptop in lightless conditions, which is also not 
green i can say.

What amazes me is that now we have a kdb brightness support in upower 
and no laptop panel brightness support...

Kind regards,
Ali.
