Hardy fixed some of these issues, but introduced more at the same time. I haven't done extensive testing, but I can provide you with my observations.
In Gutsy, I had the following problem. If I set the brightness with the [Fn + Up] or [Fn + Down] keystroke, the brightness would at some point revert to the value set in the Brightness Applet. In Hardy, it seems that the opposite happens. If I set the brightness with the Brightness Applet, it will at some point revert to the value set by the [Fn + Up] or [Fn + Down] keystroke. Worse, the brightness level always reverts to some (seemingly random) value after a reboot. I opened up a new bug to discuss the new problems (feel free to mark it a duplicate if you think that would be appropriate): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/223954 ** Changed in: gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released => Incomplete -- Screen brightness resets to default (maximum) on idle with AC plugged in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/137598 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
