you can do that :) It is configurable in /etc/phonefsod.conf in the
[idle] section:
default_brightness = 100

you can completely switch off dimming too... comment out the three dim_*
config values and it won't dim.

One problem I see is on startup... phoneuid tries to get the values for
signal and stuff on start... and FSO is not ready yet at that point in
the boot sequence :| Needs to be fixed. After doing a 'killall phoneuid'
once the values are all correct for me though...
