Hi My laptop is Compaq V3527, Core 2 Duo 7300, Intel X3100 and I have exactly the problem described above. The screen brightness goes up to 100% from 80% when dimming is set enabled. After reading this bug, I disabled the dimming and the problem has gone. Note that, I have only this annoying

Tim's patch is certainly a big improvement if you set idle dimming to disabled. No more annoying dimming when you don't want it. Except when you open the gnome-power-manager preferences. Then it does seem to dim the display for some reason. Also, this bug appears to be a duplicate of bug #133057.

Your patch will only fix the bug when idle dimming is disabled. Ideally, gnome-power-manager should be notified whenever the fn keys are used to change the brightness, so it can update its configuration. If you open the power management preferences dialog, you can see that changes from the fn

Well, there isn't really a problem if idle dimming is enabled - in that case it dims properly to the idle brightness setting. That is, unless brightness is already set to a lower setting, in which case the brightness increases (but that's another bug). In any case, if some kind of patch can't be

The problem with idle dimming enabled would be when the user stops being idle. The brightness would be reset to whatever g-p-m thinks the brightness is (100% by default), instead of what it was actually set to using the fn keys. -- Screen brightness resets to default (maximum) on idle with AC

Yes - fixing that would require a previous brightness variable in the code. It would basically be checked, and then the brightness code would take it into account when exiting idle. I figure the best way to fix all these brightness problems would be to: 1. Do not use idle events when

Here is the patch I came up with. Basically, when the idle callback is called, this will stop it from changing the brightness if idle dimming is disabled. Hope this is suitable - I know one could suppress the idle callback from being called, but it seems that it is used for other things
