I almost have the identical setup and I can confirm this behaviour with
with an up-to-date sid.
This seems to be a recent change in behaviour/regression.
I suspected systemd v215 as possible culprit as well, but I can also
reproduce this with v208.

Bug#762676: gnome-shell: docking laptop or restarting Shell while docked sets backlight to off

2014-09-24 Thread Simon McVittie
Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.14.0-1
Severity: normal

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad X220 laptop with Intel graphics, a docking station
and a DisplayPort-attached monitor, in this configuration:

   /-\
 /-+ monitor |
 |X220 | |
 \-+-/

The X220 is the primary monitor (with the menu bar), if that matters.

When I dock the X220 into the docking station or restart Shell with
Alt+F2, "r", the X220's backlight turns down to its lowest level, which
is unreadable. Workaround: turn it back up with the hotkey (Fn+Home).

When I experienced this when docking the laptop I thought it was more likely
to be a kernel or "plumbing" bug (systemd or udev or something), but I'm
filing it against gnome-shell for now, since I can also reproduce it with
Alt+F2, "r".

Any debugging advice?
