Laptop Brightness Issue

So most things are working great on my new laptop. The only glitch I have ran in to is the brightness adjustment in Ubuntu. I have to hold down the FN key and then use the up down arrow's to adjust brightness. What happens is I either get really dark or brightest setting. Is there anyway to adjust it or be a little more precise with it ? Also I noticed sometimes when adjusting brightness my mouse cursor dissapears. I can still go and select stuff its just really hard as I cant actually see the mouse cursor.


Thanks

Right click on Panel and select 'Add to Panel'. Select Brightness Applet from list.

This is not a perfect solution, but it's pretty darn good, especially if you already have wine.
