Hello all.
I'm not sure if this is a bug, or if I'm just missing something. I wasn't able to form a very fruitful Google search, so I decided to post here.
I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 netbook remix on my Asus eeepc 901. When I'm running on battery power, I have the power manager set to dim the display when idle. However, let's say I'm reading some web page in the dark. I usually turn my brightness down nearly all the way as it otherwise hurts my eyes. As I'm reading, I don't touch anything. After a few minutes, power manager deems my computer "idle" and the display brightens! To reiterate: If I have my current brightness lower than whatever is set for the "idle brightness," power manager actually makes my screen brighter to match the idle brightness. Shouldn't it check to see if I'm already dimmer than the idle brightness? Can I change this without delving into source? It's a pretty annoying issue, as I do this kind of thing quite often.
