Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
When I change the screen brightness level in the power management preferences, the brightness level changes correctly as I move the brightness slider, and the brightness notification on screen also correctly reflects the brightness. However, 1 to 2 seconds after changing the brightness, the screen brightness goes back down to the lowest level. The on screen brightness indicator (but not the slider control) correctly reflects the progress down to the lowest level. If I change the brightness using the brightness adjustment on the keyboard, the adjustment stays until I logout or restart. The brightness also reverts to the lowest level each time the login screen displays and after gnome has loaded when login is complete. The on screen brightness indicator tracks the brightness as it moves down to the lowest level. My laptop is a Nexlink Versatility 15.4C XP using Ubuntu Maverick with latest updates as of 01/22/2011.
