The behavior has changed already under jaunty: now working on battery
power always allows for medium brightness, and only not touching the
keyboard for a while dims the screen completely. I guess that is the
desired behavior. I didn't notice this change since I haven't tried
working on battery
Thanks for checking. Marking as fixed released. New feature request (or
changed to default performance) should be send directly to the upstream
authors at bugzilla.gnome.org, for forwarding instructions please have a
look to http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. Thanks for helping
make
Good job debugging this, those logs are helpful.
The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the
live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Karmic
Koala. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can
work on getting it fixed in the next
Actually, it is not always switching to the cyclic mode. This time,
the screen went black right after unplugging, and I could bring it with
the hotkeys to a level at which it was barely usable in a completely
dark room. However, it did not become brighter by itself this time, as
described above.

The bug gets ever more confusing: while logging this information, I had
the expected bahavior (for the first time ever, I think). The monitor
went a little darker after unplugging, and I could turn it up to maximum
brightness using the hotkeys. I'll rerecord that information trying to
reproduce
Ok, here the same log with the cyclic behavior.
