This bug affects Intel 915GM (i915) too (IBM Thinkpad X41). I have turned off 'dim'. My screen is switched off after 10 minutes. In many cases it does not turn on again completely. I can only see a very dark picture of whatever should be on the screen. I can even jump between ttys and back to the desktop with no effect. Hotkeys for brightness don't allow to increase brightness then. The only thing that helps is going to standby (closing the lid, because I can't really see where I'm clicking) and waking up, or killing the session (Alt + Print + K).

Dimming happens even when "dim" is not selected in the "screen" settings. It also happens before logging in. There is nothing I can do to un-dim the screen (i.e. moving the mouse, keyboard, but also using the contrast/brightness keys). When the screen is not dimmed, it is possible to adjust brightness etc using the contrast/brightness keys. If the laptop is suspended/resumed the screen will be back to normal until it decides to dim the screen again. This is reproducible and can be repeated as many times as necessary.
