What is irritating about this is the backlight on laptops is usually the highest power item.
So on battery I want it to always be low power to maximise the battery life, I don't want it to continuously go bright when I touch my laptop as this consumes excess battery. As I can't have that my display is always dim at the moment, so even on AC I am having a dim display and not utilising the screens ability. It makes sense to have two power modes, on battery, and on AC. It makes absolutely no sense to use virtually the same settings on both. The GNOME guys are consistently going to far to reduce configuration. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/884041 Title: Screen brightness not adjusted when switching from AC to battery Status in Ubuntu on the Nexus 7: Confirmed Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I upgraded my Samsung NC 10 to Oneiric recently. Since then, switching between AC and battery power has no effect to screen brightness. Adjusting the brightness manually works but is quite annoying. I added the regression tag since this didn't happen in Natty and older.
