On my wallstreet, (Powerbook G3 Series) the brightness controls would behave strangely if some settings had not been saved in PRAM by OS9. When the PRAM battery was dead, this would result in odd behavior whenever the computer lost battery power (since there was no PRAM backup) the solution was installing a new PRAM battery, entering OS9 to save the displays control panel settings and then restarting into OS X. -Andrew -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
