Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
Release: Karmic i686
Package version: gnome-power-manager 2.28.1-0ubuntu1
I am on a Dell mini 10, running a clean install of Karmic i686, fully updated.
After startup, the screen brightness is at 100%, no matter what it is set to
under Gnome-power-manager.
The other problem is, the screen goes blank after about 5 min of inactivity,
also regardless of the settings.
The brightness buttons didn't work at all after the installation, so that there
was no way to change the screen brightness. Adding 'apci_brightness=vendor' to
boot options made the brightness buttons work, but the settings are still
ignored.
