Ok. I found my problem. Was a kernel bug. It should be fixed in 2.6.32. See http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=d822d5c273683dc4bacd413953b11ad31513e997 -- [Karmic] dim display when idle only dims but doesn't restore the previous value when not idle anymore https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/392122 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 392122] Re: [Karmic] dim display when idle only dims but doesn't restore the previous value when not idle anymore
Same here with an Asus EEE 1000h. It seems like the BIOS sets the backlight direct and does not inform the system about it. xrandr --prop detects the correct backlight value but gnome-power-manager seems not to be aware of it. There is also no notify osd while changing the brightness. -- [Karmic] dim display when idle only dims but doesn't restore the previous value when not idle anymore https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/392122 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This seems to be 2 or 3 bugs actually, I can confirm both. 1) it at some random amount of idless, usually between 10 and 50 seconds 2) when i'm no longer idle, the screen stays dim 3) the 'dim when idle' power option isnt even on This is a Dell E6400 -- [Karmic] dim display when idle only dims but doesn't restore the previous value when not idle anymore https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/392122 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 392122] Re: [Karmic] dim display when idle only dims but doesn't restore the previous value when not idle anymore
Chris this is not a duplicate of #478308. The title of the current bug is very clear: 'dim display when idle' only dims but doesn't restore the previous value when not idle anymore. #478308 states Dim when idle won't turn off. These are separate bugs. You and other users have posted descriptions of several different bugs here, all relating to display dimming, and perhaps these different bugs should be filed as separate reports. The current bug report is not resolved by removing g-p-m, because that stops display dimming. What is desired is for the display to still dim, but to restore the previous brightness value rather than some default brightness when the mouse/keyboard is activated again. The bug described in this report would be resolved easily enough, if g-p-m were to remember the current user-setting of the brightness level, and then restore that value after dimming. -- [Karmic] dim display when idle only dims but doesn't restore the previous value when not idle anymore https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/392122 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Amen to that. So when confirming the bug - aren't you supposed to change the status to confirmed - or is that up to a developer? -- [Karmic] dim display when idle only dims but doesn't restore the previous value when not idle anymore https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/392122 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 392122] Re: [Karmic] dim display when idle only dims but doesn't restore the previous value when not idle anymore
I confirm this bug on an Eee PC 1005HA. The display dimming behavior on battery power seems unpredictable (sometimes it dims after a few seconds idle, sometimes much longer), and when the computer is active again (e.g. by touching the keyboard/trackpad) the display returns to its default brightness, rather than the brightness to which I had previously set it. The default brightness is generally brighter than is needed for indoor viewing, and therefore drains the battery faster, so I am continually forced to re-lower the brightness after every time it dims. -- [Karmic] dim display when idle only dims but doesn't restore the previous value when not idle anymore https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/392122 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 392122] Re: [Karmic] dim display when idle only dims but doesn't restore the previous value when not idle anymore
I have dim on idle disabled, and regardless of being plugged in or not, it randomly dims (sometimes while I'm using the computer, and after 2-5 seconds, and sometimes while it's sitting idle, and after 20-40 seconds). I have an Intel 945 gme, I do believe (Eee 1005HAB). It's extremely annoying. -- [Karmic] dim display when idle only dims but doesn't restore the previous value when not idle anymore https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/392122 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 392122] Re: [Karmic] dim display when idle only dims but doesn't restore the previous value when not idle anymore
This is happening to me too, on a Dell Latitude D510, with an Intel 915GM. The backlight level can be turned up fully and the OSD reacts correctly. However, when the display dims on idle and drops to around half brightness or less, un-idling will result in the display brightness only increasing one level instead of back to the previous level. It will properly return to the previous brightness level when plugging/unplugging AC, just not on idle. -- [Karmic] dim display when idle only dims but doesn't restore the previous value when not idle anymore https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/392122 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
