I thought of a different way to re-add zero: simply allow it as one of the usable values. As it is right now, gnome-power-manager's indicated brightness levels (100, 85, 71, 57, 42, 28, 14, 0) no longer match the indicated values in the dsdt: (100, 87, 75, 62, 50, 37, 25, 12, and a true zero you could add.)
In addition, some time try out guidance-power-manager, and you'll notice that its backlight control is far more sane -- it actually remembers the levels you set for each power state. -- LCD backlight turns off when between discrete levels, both from hotkeys and from dim-on-idle. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/121833 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
