Dim on idle does not brighten with activity

I have the same issue as pelle.k:
Same here. Everytime it goes back up from dim, it decreases until it hits
some magic bottom. I've got a brightness range of 0-8. I adjust it to 7. then,
let me illustrate;
idle 7
dim 4
idle 6
dim 4
idle 5
dim 4
idle 5
dim 4
idle 5
I ran a debug script

Great observations. I now notice that I also experience this as it pertains
to dimming/brightening and plugging/unplugging. Could you create a new bug
including the information you've gathered to get the ball rolling? Post
here with a link to the bug report, so I can subscribe. Thanks!

I have already created a bug report to address the problem of decreasing
brightness values. The big number is

Pelle.k, could you add you discoveries to that bug report?

This is still broken for me. When I am on AC and the LCD dims and I move
the mouse the undimmed value is less than full. I have not tried to
inspect or change anything in gconf-editor, but I don't think I should
need to. Using the keyboard to adjust the brightness back up works,
although a

The packages from Ted Gould's repository fixes my issue. Thanks a lot!
(I hope the updated package will be pushed to Hardy).
I'm not sure if this is the same bug/feature as above, but after
manually changing the backlight (using the brightness applet), gpm does
not seem to dim on idle.

Ted,
I actually wondered about that but my only other experience with a
computer dimming when idle is OSX and as far as I can tell it isn't that
smart. Good to know Ubuntu is smarter. Thanks for the effort. Out of
curiosity, are the adjustments to the timing permanent or session based?
In other
Yes, Ted could you please explain the details of your smart dimming?

Thanks for the fix, Ted! This might need to be filed as a different
bug, but I notice that when I set the brightness_ac value in gconf-
editor to 100 (the named maximum), after the now functional dimming and
re-brightening it doesn't actually brighten to the max for my LCD as it
should according
Dim on idle seems to be working right now for me too.
However I have noticed a problem that is easy to reproduce and is
related to some of the posts above:
1) Turn on the laptop on AC
2) After logging in unplug and replug the laptop to AC many times.

Yes, please. It's an additional power-saving measure :)

Same problem -- with a Lenovo ThinkPad R61. At least brightness control
works at all, unlike Gutsy.

I'd be happy to give it a try but could you explain a bit how to do it?
I suspect I have to add your PPA to my sources.list, update and upgrade
but I'm a bit leery about doing it that way as I may get more than just
this one change and tracking could be harder. Is there a simple way to
just update

Same problem here. If I try to increase the maximum value to 350, the
screen does not dim after I unplug AC and the dim does not kick in after
inactivity. Another interesting twist is that the dim level varies if I
try to unplug and re-plug the laptop many times in a row.

Same problem here, running up to date Hardy Beta. This has been working
