I also have the problem with constant dimming. When I switched of all
the dimming settings in gconf-editor under apps > gnome-power-manager >
backlight (there are some settings that are only available here, and not
from the settings applet) this no longer happens. It still happens after
resume from
Adding "acpi_osi=Linux" to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT parameter in
/etc/default/grub makes the hotkeys adjust the brightness monotonically
on my 1005pe. I have also updated my bios to version 0706, but I don't
think this made a difference.
In /etc/default/grub I have:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAU
I had the same problem, and doing the following fixed it for me:
$ cd /etc/fonts/conf.d/
$ sudo ln -s ../conf.avail/29-language-selector-ja-jp.conf
After this you have to restart X for the new settings to take effect.
