When enabling panel backlight, if the current backlight level setting matches the panel's minimal, it would apply default policy to override the current level by the panel's maximum until next request to update brightness, this leads unexpected user confusion with temporary full power backlight.
This odd could be reproduced as commands like these: $ xbacklight -set 0 $ sudo sh -c 'echo mem > /sys/power/state' (resume) To fix this, slightly tinker the backlight level comparison from 'less-and-equal-to' to 'less-than'.
