Yes, I would like the power managment to be able to adjust the brightness if running on batteries. For example there is a simple Power Manager in Kubuntu, and, in general, it allows to setup brightness if running on batteries. This tool does not allow to set up brightness on my notebook - I've checked some forums and found out that the reason is that the HAL is not recognizing the possibility of adjusting brightness. I guessed that making hald aware of it would solve the problem.
