Hi Shawn, I assume if you go to System->Preferences->Power Management, under the "On AC Power" tab in the "Display" section if you slide the "Set display brightness to:" slider, it's works as anticipated. It's just the Fn+Down Arrow and Fn+ Up Arrow hotkeys that you experience the aggressive screen dimming? Assuming this is the case, can you try doing:
sudo /etc/init.d/hotkey-setup stop Fn+Down or Fn+Up (to dim/brighten the screen and hopefully notice screen dimming working as you expect) sudo /etc/init.d/hotkey-setup start -- fn buttons dim and brighten screen to fast https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/264947 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
