Subject: [regression] display dimming is slow and laggy

Hello,

I'm using kernel 2.6.26-rc6 at the moment and with it dimming the display is 
slow and laggy. Using kernel 2.6.25 doesn't show this problem.

Here is a more detailed explanation:

I'm dimming my display with the appropriate keys on my laptop (Fn + 
right/left). Till kernel 2.6.25 this has worked without any problems. Now I'm 
using 2.6.26-rc6 and using the keys the display is dimming much slower and 
also laggy. By laggy I mean if I hit the keys for increasing/decreasing 
brightness it starts dimming and when I release the keys after some time it 
still continues dimming for some steps.

My laptop is a Acer Travelmate 661lci and has an Intel 855 chipset.

I'll attach my dmesg output, please tell me if you need any further 
information.

Maxi
