Is there a BZ report number for this that you're aware of?

I saw the shudder/update bug on another laptop in my old job but it
went away, I think the brightness one might be a combination of the
way the hardware keys are hooked up and i think there was newer way of
changing the brightness using keys in the newer driver (x standard or
something) over the way it was done in the F8 driver (but not 100% on
this as I'm no where near an X developer :).
