Hi Shawn,
I assume if you go to System- >Preferences- >Power Management, under the "On AC Power" tab in the "Display" section if you slide the "Set display brightness to:" slider, it's works as anticipated. It's just the Fn+Down Arrow and Fn+ Up Arrow hotkeys that you experience the aggressive screen dimming? Assuming this is the case, can you try doing:
sudo /etc/init. d/hotkey- setup stop d/hotkey- setup start
Fn+Down or Fn+Up (to dim/brighten the screen and hopefully notice screen dimming working as you expect)
sudo /etc/init.
