** Description changed: gnome-power-manager and the brightness applet had some very annoying bugs in Gutsy (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome- power-manager/+bug/137598). For a while after upgrading to Hardy, it seemed as through the aforementioned bug had been resolved. I was able to adjust the screen brightness with [Fn + Up] and [Fn + Down] without issue. But now that I have been using Hardy for a few days, it seems that some of the bugs - remain. Whenever I close/reopen my laptop lid, the brightness level - changes. I have specified (through brightness applet) that the - brightness should be at about 80%. But if after closing/reopening the - laptop lid, the brightness level changes to about 20% and I must use - either the Fn keys or Brightness Applet to revert the brightness to 80%. + remain. If I set my brightness via the Brightness Applet, the chosen + brightness will change after I close/reopen my laptop lid. However, if I + use the [Fn + Up] and [FN + Down] keystrokes, the brightness will be + "saved" until the computer restarts. Once the computer restarts, the + brightness level returns to a level different from the level set with + [Fn + Up] or [Fn + Down]. I have not done any extensive testing, and thus cannot provide with certainty a "Steps to reproduce" section. But it is clear that something is wrong, as the brightness level should not modify itself when I close my laptop lid. If anyone can confirm similar buggy activity or would like to provide any other relevant information, please do so in the comments section.
