Title: screen brightens when idle, rather than dimming Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: This may be related to the bug #498974 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power- manager/+bug/498974) When the screen is turned to a high brightness, if I haven't touched the keyboard or mouse for a while the display will dim a bit. This is normal. However, when the screen is at a low brightness, at idle the screen will actually brighten instead of dim! It seems like the "brightness to dim to" is a hardcoded value, rather than relative to the current brightness. Hence, the hardcoded "brightness to dim to" is actually brighter than what I have my screen set to. It seems related to that other bug, but the symptoms they report are a little different. Mine just gets a bit brighter. The other bug report describes the screen getting to full brightness before dimming somewhat again, ending off with a higher brightness than when the keyboard and mouse are not idle.
