I have the problem that when I change the screen brightness via the fn
keys or the system configuration panel, I get an increase in brightness
for maybe half a second and then it goes back to some default.  Same for
key backlighting

My /sys/class/backlight folder has two dirs:
acpi_video0  and intel_backlight
when I run 
echo 4880 | sudo tee /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness 
the screen actually gets brighter for more than half a second, but it dims down 
again after about 3 seconds.  

The degree of dimness seems to fluctuate with ambient light.  Maybe the
program in charge of changing the brightness dynamically according to
ambient light is not getting the point that I want a specific
brightness?
