I'm seeing similar behavior to those with 2.1.0, but only if I use the bios-controlled backlight setting keys. X doesn't notice when the backlight is changed by that and starting mplayer switches it back to the last brightness level X set. > Could you try reverting the following commit from driver 2.1.1 ? > http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel.git;a=commitdiff;h=a85dd7adc35601a988b1001e8b3c8aa4d53de0c0;hp=c989cb4897e2e2d395c52df4822290a767cdc866 Yep, with that reverted, xbacklight works well again. -- see shy jo
