There is in fact a (little) difference. With 2.6.26 the screen is dim when I log in: but if I switch the lcd screen off and on by pressing twice the Fn-key F7, it immediately goes to full brightness and I need not increase brightness step by step, from minimum to full (as I had to do before). Moreover, on shutdown, the Ubuntu splash screen is displayed at high brightness. The pc screen is still bright when I power on (ASUS screen, grub, Ubuntu, all of these are at high brightness) -- and the system switches to dim just before the login screen appears. ((If I am feeding too much info (or maybe too irrelevant info) into this thread, please just tell me!))
