** Description changed: Up till natty (11.04), there was a gconf option reduce brightness_dim_battery, which would cause the brightness to be lowered - by the specified amount *as soon as* the laptop went off AC battery - + by the specified amount *as soon as* the laptop went off AC power - great help for power saving! In oneiric, there is no corresponding dconf option for the power manager - and there is no option in the gnome- control-center either. The gconf option still is there, but as far as I can see it has no effect on the behaviour. Note: this is a different option than dimming on idle! 1) Ubuntu 11.10 2) Versions: - gnome-control-center: 1:3.2.1-0ubuntu1 - gnome-power-manager: 3.2.1-0ubuntu1 + gnome-control-center: 1:3.2.1-0ubuntu1 + gnome-power-manager: 3.2.1-0ubuntu1 3) Expected behaviour: - I open power management options (and/or dconf) and find an option like: reduce brightness when on battery 4) what happened instead: - no such option(s)
