Please see bug #199520 - we display slider even when there is not brightness device \
to control. I reproduced this locally with my notebook by removing "video" or going \
back to 2.6.32 where there wasn't support for brightness in case of my machine.

Actually I just wanted to enable/disable slider when there is (not) brightness \
device. Then I noticed there can be multiple devices in theory, so decided to make it \
cover all cases instead of later fixing.

It's simply _confusing_ to display brightness slider (which can be even used!) when \
we don't really have brightness device.

    brightnessChanged is slot for Slider and without checking whole \
m_brightnessSliders I can not say what device is associated with slider that sent \
signal.  Maybe you just did't note I use db->device as parameter of setBrightness \
call.

    Good catch, that's right. Could we actually drop whole \
Battery::setFullBrightness? It was introduced by sebas in 866073 and doesn't seem to \
be used anymore.

    Naming devices would be great, however names seems to be like: \
"/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_backlight".  Should we just take untranslated \
"computer_backlight" part? Or should we enumerate them?  
    As about adding every device, I don't think there will be (any/many) cases with \
more than 1 device. It's unlikely any user will be overhelmed with amount of devices.

    I have no idea, I've just copied current behavior. What should I do about this \
part, then?

 <pre>&gt; I understand it in principle, but would like to know which specific case \
this one fixes. Can you give an example of what works with the patch that doesn&#39;t \
work without it?

to control. I reproduced this locally with my notebook by removing &quot;video&quot; \
or going back to 2.6.32 where there wasn&#39;t support for brightness in case of my \
