I don't need the tooltip because changing the brightness gives you visual feedback on its own. More importantly, the tooltip really slows down my computer - if video is playing the tooltip causes it to stutter, unlike the volume change tooltip, which doesn't slow down the computer.

  • Are you sure the "tooltip" causes the problem? Can you try killing notify-osd and then changing brightness? If it still stutters then you have another problem. – RolandiXor Nov 06 '11 at 21:05
  • I killed notify-osd, but it was re-spawned as soon as I pressed the brightness keys. – sashoalm Nov 22 '11 at 09:03

Presently there is a bug filed against this on Launchpad #461058 to disable on screen notifications.

You can customize the appearance of notify-osd by installing a ppa described here.

Mark Shuttleworth has previously suggested a patch for this would be welcome.

Currently there is no way of achieving what you want.
