Exact same problem on an Asus Eee PC 1000HA. I have used the function keys to dim the screen to its minimum, and it seems the default "Dim on Idle" exhibits the exact characteristics that Chris mentioned. Instead of dimming further (or to the same minimum level), it will actually brighten to about a 25-30% setting.
It would be expected that the "Dim on Idle" dim in relation to the current brightness level, rather than to a set level. E.g. min_level >= (0.25 * current_level) ? dim _level = min_level : dim_level = 0.25 * current_level; Rather than... dim_level = 0.25 * max_level; -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/835971 Title: screen brightens when idle, rather than dimming To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/835971/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
