Same here. Everytime it goes back up from "dim", it decreases until it hits some magic bottom. I've got a brightness range of 0-8. I adjust it to 7. then, let me illustrate; idle > 7 dim > 4 idle > 6 dim > 4 idle > 5 dim > 4 idle > 5 dim > 4 idle > 5
And this is what happens when i adjust to 7 (idle) then pull the power and let it run on battery, then put the AC in again (repeatedly); power > 7 battery > 4 power > 6 battery > 3 power > 5 battery > 2 power > 4 battery > 1 power > 3 battery > 0 power > 2 battery > 0 power > 2 battery > 0 Also, i have to adjust the brightness level myself at each reboot (i do it automatically in rc.local with "cat 7 > /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness). gnome-power-manager: Installed: 2.22.1-1ubuntu4 Candidate: 2.22.1-1ubuntu4 Version table: *** 2.22.1-1ubuntu4 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status -- Dim on idle does not brighten with activity https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/199522 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
