Shortly after moving to 17.10, my laptop has started dimming its internal screen to minimum brightness at the start of initramfs execution. shortly thereafter it restores it to normal brightness, but that only happens *after* typing in encrypted filesystem passwords, so the password dialogues are practically invisible. Not sure why its doing this, but whatever's restoring the brightness should do it before prompting for filesystem mounting so these prompts are actually visible.
