Yes, this was my experience with my 2009 MBP. If the brightness is set to 0 
then it gets restored to 100% on reboot or re-login. I usually keep my 
brightness at 3-6% and rarely find it getting reset except when somebody 
else uses my system. :-)

I was able to reproduce Chris's problem. Neither the slider under system 
preferences, displays, nor the energy settings does this. Maybe with 
newer systems, it sticks. But with older macs, such as my Mid 2010 
MacBook, and Chris's Late 2012 MacBook Pro, it does it identically the 
same whether you use the function keys or the system prefs slider. It 
resets the brightness to 100%. I also tested this on battery power, and 
it doesn't do it. The energy setting would just dim the screen slightly, 
whereas we're trying to literally maintain the exact screen brightness 
percentage after reboot.


We're not doubting you, neither are we trying to make you look

Guys,

I really haven’t ever thought about this until now, but when I boot my macbook, 
it is defaulting to 100% brightness regardless what I do.  If I set the screen 
to 0 brightness then either shutdown and later reboot, or I just simply restart 
without fully shutting down, doesn’t matter, as soon as OSX comes back up, it’s 
back at 100, making me again have to hold down FN+F1 until it’s at 0.  Don’t 
get me wrong.  This is a very very very minor annoyance, and it’s nothing I am 
terribly concerned about, but I’m just wonderring if there, even with the aid 
of a 3rd party app, might be a way to make it stick.

This is the official, non-beta build of El Capitan on a late 2012 macbook Pro 
13 inch non retina system with a superdrive.
