All,

   One new issue I have with 13.1 is my Toshiba laptop brightness is stuck on 
high (really high) and I cannot adjust it with the normal function keys. The 
normal method for increase/decrease is:

   fn + F6 - lower (8 steps)
   fn + F7 - raise (8 steps)

   What is strange is that this hardware brightness control has always worked, 
regardless of the OS (XP/DOS, openSuSE 11.0, 11.4, Archlinux) and regardless of 
the driver (radeon, radeonHD, etc..)

   Now it is just stuck. I can pop the 11.4 drive back in and it works fine. 
What could be causing this? Moreover, what could be the fix?
