Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: powerdevil
Changing the screen brightness with laptop function keys (Fn+up/down on
my dell) works, but doesn't appear to be recognised by powerdevil (the
battery monitor applet's screen brightness setting doesn't change).
This is problematic, as my screen is usually set to full brightness when
on power, but when I use the laptop at night, I prefer to turn it down.
If I do this with the keyboard, it works, but if I leave the computer
for long enough for powerdevil to dim the screen, when I come back, the
screen brightness resets to powerdevil's setting (which doesn't remember
my keyboard setting, as it never recognised it). This means I have to
change the brightness every time I come back to the computer, or change
it manually with the mouse in the battery monitor applet.
