This is still an issue with Karmic. I'm experiencing exactly the same problem. Please let me know what information is needed to finally get this bug fixed.
Steps to reproduce: 1. System is running on battery, backlight brightness is at the value set in brightness_dim_battery (50 in my system). 2. Increase display brightness using your favourite method (I use my Notebook's system keys) to some other value, say 70. 3. Wait for system to become idle. The display brightess is set to the value defined in idle_brightness (30 on my system). 4. Move mouse. The system brightness will again be set to the value in brightness_dim_battery (50), not to the value I set just minutes before (70). -- When the laptop is inactive, screen dims but doesn't remember previous brightness setting when reactivited https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/216545 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
