This bug also affects me on my Dell Latitude D430 running Lucid as of Feb 22 2010.
When I'm working I set brightness to 100%. Using the keyboard shortcuts there are 8 possible values of brightness: 0% (progress bar gone) to 100% (progress bar full) with 6 steps in between. If I set brightness to 100% and then let the computer go idle while on battery it dims to a very low level. Then when I use the computer I expect that the brightness will go to 100% again but instead it goes to the fourth step (three above 0). I have to press the brighten keyboard shortcut four times to get the screen back to 100% brightness. I do not have an option for ambient light in the gnome power manager (but I do have an ambient light sensor). Covering the sensor seems to affect how many times I have to use the keyboard shortcut to get back to 100% brightness. Doing a quick test, with the ambient light sensor covered I had to use the keyboard shortcut 8 times to get to full brightness. -- [Jaunty] Original screen brightness not restored after activity with "dim display when idle" for MacBook 5.1 when running on battery. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/360177 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
