Reconfirming, happens for me in Ubuntu 8.10, Kubuntu 8.10, Mint 8.10 and
Xubuntu 8.10. It also occurs when I use (Ctrl+)Alt+Fx to switch to tty.
Switching *between* ttys works fine, but switching to and from tty -
from and to X - reverts brightness to 100% which seems to be my default.
Ergo, as soon as X "blanks" the screen (changes mode?), it's reset.
This happens with the intel, nv and proprietary nvidia drivers, tested
on two different laptops (Advent 4211, Acer Aspire 9815).
