I am running SL5.3 on a Thinkpad x60 laptop. I don't run a screensaver, just xset to blank the screen after a period of inactivity. With the lap top running on ac power, the screen goes blank as it should, but when I press a key to bring it back, it is only about half as bright as it was before turning off. (/proc/acpi/ibm/brightness says it's level 3 vs. level 7).
Searching the web, I've found people blaming this kind of behaviour on gnome-power-manager and hal, so for purposes of this posting, I've killed both of those, and the problem remains. Any ideas? Thanks.
