I have the same issues on an Asus eeepc 901, running Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04, 2.6.28-11-generic. Running on battery power, when I dim my display beyond the "idle" dimness and let it sit until my computer is finally considered "idle," the display brightens to the "idle" dimness! Lastly, when I move my mouse thus bringing my computer out of the "idle" state, the display goes to maximum brightness. I can't believe this bug has been plaguing us since 7.10. If someone needs to see my settings, tell me what to run and I'll post the results.
