I've seen some erratic behaviour on my Eee 900 (running Easy Peasy 1.0) while running on batteries too, and I think what happens is that it automatically dims the brightness after you haven't used the touchpad or keyboard for a while (to conserve battery), and cranks it up when you "wake it up" and forgets the previous setting.
Does this describe what you see? -- Brightness behaves eraticly in Jaunty on EEEpc https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/360441 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
