Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
Hello,
I am running a fully-updated version of Gutsy on my HP DV6000 laptop
(GM945 chipset). In gnome-power-manager's preferences, I disabled "dim
when idle" for both AC and Battery power. However, when running on
batteries, the display brightness would dim anyway after a minute of
being idle, regardless of what the setting was in gnome-power manager.
The brightness would then restore to the default battery brightness
instead of my previously set brightness (but that's another already-
reported bug).
I checked in gconf-editor to ensure I had the settings correct, and
indeed, they were. However, while reading the key description for
idle_brightness, it says "Only valid when use_time_for_policy is true."
I disabled use_time_for_policy, and now things work properly--no dimming
after any amount of idle.
This is not an ideal solution, but at least there's a workaround. If you
need any more information, please let me know.
Thank you,
Matt Brannock
