BandD,
I am running Ubuntu 8.10 now and the included gpm seems to have the
right behavior for me. I don't know if they are using my patch or found
another solution for the same problem (I have not looked at the code).
Are you still using 8.04? If that is the case, maybe you could try to
apply my
I noticed sometime last week that gpm was not correctly setting the
original brightness again after resuming from idle. After looking into
it I realized that a new version of gpm had shipped with a round of
updates. So I went back to Paulo Silva's patched version and everything
is back in order.

g-p-m does not honor its configuration for LCD brightness levels after multiple

I'm the lucky owner of a Lenovo Thinkpad Z61m, and when I use the Dim
display when idle feature, my screen will gradually get darker and
darker for every time it kicks in. After a while I must manually
increase the brightness again, to get it back to the level it should be
at. Ubuntu Hardy 32bit.
+1 to that last comment, on an XPS m1330 with intel GMA965 and LED
display. Tried resetting the configuration to defaults with no success.

Hi Paulo,
it also happens with the original GPM package. I have the impression
that even GPM from the Hardy RCs did work better... but that just as a
side note.

The fix from Paulo also works for me but one thing is still wrong:
running on AC power, brightness is 100%, then shutting down the laptop
and unplugging power, after restarting the brightness stays at 100%, GPM
does detect that I am running on battery and is also dimming the display
but it does

Paulo,
I'm sorry. It happened only one day--though consistently that day--and I
have not been able to reproduce this bug since. Everything seems to be
working fine.
Thanks!

The problem after the screen saver resume does not happen to me. Can you

Paulo,
I may have found another 'bug'. I've noticed that when when the
screensaver (for me blank screen) is activated using your patched
version of gpm and deactivate the screensaver (through mouse movement or
keystroke), my screen brightness is stuck at the 'dimmed' screen

Sorry, the file was corrupted when I uploaded it to my website. It is
fixed now.
If you want to compile it your self you can try the following on a
terminal (you'll need to add the source repositories to your apt-sources
list):
1) Create a directory to hold gpm source
2) sudo apt-get build-dep
The patch doesn't seem to work on my system, sadly. I get no response
when unplugging and plugging in the power cord; the screen brightness
doesn't change at all. The screen will dim when idle, but will not
restore ANY brightness once the mouse is moved or a key is pressed. I
can manually
Thanks for your feedback BandD.
I found a bug in my patch that would prevent it to work if you set some
of the brightness parameters to 0 or 100. For example if you had set
brightness_ac to 100 (which is a quite reasonable value) it would not
work.
I have fixed the bug and I am attaching a new
Ok. The new patch works perfectly for me when setting the idle/active
brightness! Nice work there!
I'm still having problems with the battery/ac though. But it I don't
know that it is a problem with YOUR patch--perhaps gpm in general or
ACPI. I had this problem with the Ubuntu's version of
I tried to download the package, but I got an error when I tried to open
it with Gdebi saying that the package may be corrupted or not being

gksu gdebi-gtk).
I'd be happy to test out the script, the logic of it seems to make
I have found out the problem. I'll use my laptop as an example. It has 7
brightness levels (from 0 to 6).
The default brightness parameters are brightness_ac=100,
brightness_battery=70, idle_brightness=30.
Hence, if I start the system plugged, my LCD starts at level 6. Then I
unplug:

g-p-m does not honor its configuration for LCD brightness levels after multiple

I've traced down the problem to 04_brightness_events.patch, and built gpm
without that patch (and 03_always_get_hw_backlight.patch), and it works much
better.
Unfortunately, my C skills really suck, so i can't give you any help there :(
Just to be on the clear, you guys have no problem at
I'm seeing the exact same problem on my Lenovo Thinkpad Z61m. The
brightness is correctly dimmed when going from AC to battery, but is not
fully restored to 100% after plugging the AC back in. It increases, but
only up to level MAX-1 (90% or so, after *one* unplug/plug cycle). This
results in the

I'm having problems with dim/restore feature, and also the change
between AC/battery mode.
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

I can confirm this bug on a Thinkpad T61 8889-2BG with Nvidia graphics card.
Gnome-power-manager restores the brightness after replugging to a slightly
lower value than before unplugging. However, it is possible to increase the
brightness to the maximum level with the brightness keys.
