my conclusion is that gnome power manager can: notify change events to the user (brightness bar) (ok here) dim the screen after a period of inactivity, if user wishes so. (and set it back the previous level) (probably ok too, when the xrandr issue is fixed)
and must not: 1: use xrandr 2: set brightness upon login/battery/ac events A couple of new gconf settings could give the user enough control to impose this behaviour. eg brightness_method = auto | hal | xrandr | wathever (fixes 1) brightness_on_power_change, a boolean (fixes 2) (should also disable "set brightness to" slider in preferences) -- Hardware and software don't agree on brightness level https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/295560 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
