Fixes backlight issue, and other things.
Hmmm, I tried this build and it doesn't work for me.
It seems to want to, but I just see lines down the screen and a large square enmeshed in the screen where the cursor should be.
Yes, I know I shouldn't be using radeonhd and that radeon is the 'one true driver' but radeonhd has had some interesting power management added to it and as a laptop user I'm keen to see if they extend my (slowly) improving battery life and I'm also aware the pm in radeon isn't great (or might be missing all together).
So, this shouldn't be rolled out as far as I'm concerned, but how do I say so?

I saw you commented in the right place -

but you should probably specify whether this is a regression, i.e., whether you have the same issue with the radeonhd in the f12 release repos. If you do, then that wouldn't really be a reason not to push the update.
