Thinkpad X41 and gnome-power-manager 2.19.6-0ubuntu2. I have the same issue, "dim display when idle" is unchecked, but after the laptop has been idle for a while, the brightness is changed to whatever value is in "set display brightness to:". I think this started happening for me only a week or so ago and I assumed that g-p-m 2.19.6 broke this and that the following changelog entry is the culprit:
* Try to discover the laptop backlight type by checking the backlight state before we try and set it. Fixes #436717 ..... -- Oliver Grawert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thu, 02 Aug 2007 11:44:34 +0200 However, that doesn't fit to the original filing date of this bug, so I am not certain if the underlying bug is the same (or maybe I did not notice it earlier). A log from "gnome-power-manager --no-daemon --verbose" is attached. It shows all the lines which appear when the laptop has been idle for a while and g-p-m decides to change the brightness to full. No buttons were pressed while that log was generated, even if the log claims so. As a side note, fixing a brightness related bug #61184 would be appreciated :P ** Attachment added: "gpm_log.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/8779448/gpm_log.txt -- [gutsy] brightness always appears after Idle https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/122666 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
