It's too big a problem to be a paper cut. A paper cut should be a minor issue that requires only a small amount of effort to repair.

I hope this will be considered as a Paper Cut.

apport information ** Tags added: apport-collected ** Description changed: Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager I've set up gnome-power-manager to Dim when Idle and reduce when on battery to manage my display. Sometimes, while i'm in dark conditions(with or without AC) or want to maximize battery life, I use the keyboard shortcuts (fn-home + fn-end on a T42) to dim the display to it's minimum. However, mostly while reading stuff and thus not interacting and letting the 'dim timer' kick in, in stead of trying to dim the display, it turns quite bright for a second and then dims it again, but to a higher setting then what it was at. Not only does this blind me, it is also highly annoying. This also happens during boot, when I have the setting dimmed and just before login the power-manager backend kicks in to do it's dim-undim magic. The first thing gnome-power-manager should do (or it's backend) is try to determine what the current backlight setting is. I know this is possible on a IBM T42 as this issue wasn't here 2 release ago.

Wyatt, you are correct. I might have been confused with a different version.

I cannot find a way to change the screen brightness when running on battery.

I am also experiencing this on my EeePC 1005HA running Ubuntu Netbook Remix (UNR) 9.10. I use XP more than Linux on this netbook primary because of this maddening behavior. Also, why can't I make the screen dimmer? The lowest brightness setting is still pretty bright, and I know the hardware can go lower because the screen does a fancy dimming animation with many steps when it goes to sleep. -- Backlight behaves erratically when changed from keyboard. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/498974 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Wyatt, have you tried to modify the screen brightness from the Power Management? I find I have the most issues when I try to change the screen brightness using the hotkeys.
