If that is it, set that parameter up from "Brightness and lock" in the "System settings".

If the display manager really terminates abruptly, log in a real terminal (that you can get with Ctrl+Alt+F1 or Ctrl+Alt+F2 or ... or Ctrl+Alt+F6), where you can use Emacs by the way, and take a look at the relevant logs (/var/log/Xorg.0.log, /var/log/lightdm/*.log if you use LightDM, /var/log/gdm/*.log if you use GDM, etc.).
