My display will dim automatically in a few minutes of idle time and when i move my mouse it does not resume previous brightness setting. I have tried turning dim on idle off but it still does it. I am running herd4 and have been making regular updates.

Thinkpad x60 Tablet.

Strange,
this happened only during the first 3-4 reboots after fresh install (with home directory saved from feisty) and now it's OK!

It works as expected.

This is almost the same on the p1610. It will go dim on idle then brighten when i move the mouse or press keys. However it will not resume previous brightness level it does not resume 100% brightness...

On my thinkpad X31 it will only dim if i tick the box in power management settings, it dims afer a few mins of inactivity (good) but then it does not go back bright when i start to use it again.

I have the same problem, when dim when idle is enabled (or when display when idle is not set, yet it dims anyway after a minute, see bug #151018). It should restore whatever brightness I had previously set, regardless of what the default battery brightness is.
