I've just changed bug description and title, because I've noticed that the problem is independent from "dim screen to save power" So the problem is very simple: the backlight is not restored when I move the mouse, but I must manually turn on it.
The problem is present in only one of my laptop, precisely an Asus K50IJ; the graphic card is an Intel "Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:2A42]" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/844241 Title: Backlight not restored moving mouse Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I've upgraded my laptop from natty to oneiric and I've noticed that when I leave the pc idle (or I manually lock the screen) the back-light is not restored when I move the mouse or press a key, but I must turn it on and increase it using the keyboard button. Is the same behaviour described in this old bug #199522.
