This has been reproducible on both my EEE PC 900 and 1005 all the way until 10.10. To recap, with the default screen settings, I get the following behavior: 1. Adjust the backlight to the lowest setting. 2. Read on the screen for a bit (maybe a minute) without moving the pointer or typing. 3. Notice a small increase in lighting level without any user input. 4. At this point, upon moving the pointer or typing the backlight goes back to 100%.
Points 3 and 4 should not happen. If GNOME is set to reduce the backlight when idle, it should obviously not *increase* it. Also, the backlight should always return to the last manual setting when not idle. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/131885 Title: Backlight no longer under my control on battery -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
