Public bug reported: Anytime I boot up the system, it always sets the display brightness to 100%.
I can reduce the brighness using the Fn F9 key stroke. Similarly I can increase the brighntess using the Fn F10 combination. (This did not work until recently - see my bug report 1257766). However, even now the chosen value is not remembered. After each start of the system I have to set a convenient brightness level.
