@pauls: that's a great find and I can confirm that syncing "brightness" to "actual_brightness" at boot time fixes the problem. I just had to make a small modification to the script for it to work on karmic:
brt=`cat /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness` abrt=`cat /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0/actual_brightness` if [ "$brt" != "$abrt" ]; then echo $abrt > /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness fi -- display is fully dimmed after resume from suspend https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/451282 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
