Bug Description
On some systems, people are experiencing dimmed brightness settings due to the backlight restore Upstart job.
If you are experiencing this, please post the output of:
cat /var/log/
ls -1 /sys/class/
cat /sys/class/
cat /sys/class/
ls -1 /var/lib/backlight
cat /var/lib/
Also please detail what video card you have and whether you are using non free or free drivers (if you are able to).
Thank you.
This affects me, I was able to turn it back at 100% by lowering the brightness bar on the power plug and then taking it to 100% again (when I boot, it's at 100% even though my screen is dim). My graphics card is a "Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller". I am attaching the output to the commands you need.
