Chris, Thanks for the additional clarification. I do understand a change isn't likely before Hardy ships, I'd just like the issue addressed (but maybe it is simpler than I thought).
I am unable to find a "brightness panel applet" on my system and my brightness keys don't work (see BTW below). I probably just don't know where to look, but I can't find anything on my task bar, system menu, or in Synaptic searching for "brightness" or "applet" and browsing through the offerings. Note that I have upgraded from 7.10 rather than a clean install so maybe this is the problem. A hint where to look for a brightness panel applet may very well address my (and other's) concerns. I'm OK with setting one brightness and having it "stick" across both AC and battery, and a brightness panel applet would actually be better than going to the power management applet (I actually had a short cut for this I used it so often). BTW, my brightness keys have never worked on my Vaio VGN-CR120E, but I did submit requested info at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=465491 so hopefully the keys will someday work. In the mean time a brightness panel applet would be my only relief from using Terminal to control my screen brightness. I hope I'm not in a Catch-22 where the keys have to work for the brightness panel to appear... -- [hardy] Battery brightness slider gone https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/201762 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
