I'm writing to support the original complaint and Alex's post at the top
of this ticket.
Please! It's really important to be able to dim the screen
automatically when switching to battery power, in order to save battery
life. I relied on this in Gutsy. I go back and forth between AC and

I'm pretty sure the brightness applet is never on by default. I can certainly
see the utility in having it - most laptops may have hardware keys for the
brightness, but it seems possible that the control could also apply to desktops
with LCDs, which will only have annoying menus on the monitor.
Chris, thanks for educating me on this! The brightness applet works
great and completely addresses my concerns about adjusting the
brightness.
Do you know if this will get turned on by default on a 7.10 upgrade? For
laptops I think it should be put up on the panel by default right along
with the v

[hardy] Battery brightness slider gone

Chris,
Thanks for the additional clarification. I do understand a change isn't
likely before Hardy ships, I'd just like the issue addressed (but maybe
it is simpler than I thought).
I am unable to find a "brightness panel applet" on my system and my
brightness keys don't work (see BTW below). I p
I vote return to Gutsy behaviour. IMO both Gutsy and Hardy have broken
behaviour, namely that g-p-m periodically overrides my set-by-Fn+Up/Down
day to day choice on backlight brightness. At least with Gutsy I could
choice the set point.

and personally I do not care if I am on AC or battery, I will adjust the
brightness to the level I want and expect it to stay there.

I would like to respectfully disagree with this being "invalid / file a

I spoke to Ted about this bug.
We have deliberately removed the AC brightness slider because it is a very
confusing and unpredictable feature, and I have to say that I agree.
Until gnome is able to work sensibly with user adjusted brightness, it would be
best not to annoy/confuse users. I regular
I have the same problem, the brightness slide disappeared after Alpha 4.

In 2.22.0-0ubuntu2 it would appear that both sliders are gone, I see
only a slider to control screen blanking delay.
