I did some googling and found two links which could be of service. The first is the Gentoo Handbook on power management: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/power-management-guide.xml Do you have powermgmt-base installed? Also, the top post here seems similar to your question, but I can't find anything like lvcheck on my own system (or for Gentoo...maybe it's named something else): http://markmail.org/message/5ipnsva3xkdyzzfy I can say that with newer kernels (2.6.30 at least and above) if I pull the ac power, my backlight automatically dims. I'm pretty sure it was done automatically by either the kernel or another update (probably based on some option like Power Management enabled in the kernel), since I don't have any power management stuff setup except battery level monitoring.
