Package: eeepc-acpi-scripts Version: 1.1.11 Severity: normal The backlight settings have no memory when going between "awake" or "asleep" settings and back again. I do not mean actually shutting down the computer, I just mean not doing anything for a while until the backlight dims.
For example, If I lower the backlight to the minimum, it will only stay at the minimum until I don't do anything for a while. Then it will "Dim" the backlight, which actually makes the backlight brighter. But that's expected. I would expect there to be two brightness settings, one for when you are active, and one for when it is resting. But the real problem is, that when I move the mouse again, waking it up out of the "dimmed" state, it completely ignores any settings I chose when it was last "awake", and rather than returning to the minimum brightness, I chose minutes agol, resets it to the default "awake" brightness. This effectively takes away *any* ability I have to choose the backlight brightness, because if I ever take a rest from typing or moving the mouse, my backlight settings will be instantly lost forever. I really would be satisfied with *any* solution that would cause the computer to remember my backlight settings. I have the lines GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet acpi_osi=Linux" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" in /etc/default/grub . I'm not 100% certain which package this bug report belongs in, but this is my best guess, as it seems to be responsible for backlight settings. I'm using a 1005PE netbook. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages eeepc-acpi-scripts depends on: ii acpi-support 0.138-5 scripts for handling many ACPI eve ii acpi-support-base 0.138-5 scripts for handling base ACPI eve ii acpid 1:2.0.7-1 Advanced Configuration and Power I ii pm-utils 1.3.0-3 utilities and scripts for power ma ii rfkill 0.4-1 tool for enabling and disabling wi eeepc-acpi-scripts recommends no packages.
