Bug Description
When running on battery power (no AC plugged in), every few minutes, the display slowly dims then slowly brightens again. After a few minutes, it does the same again. I'm just browsing the web but it's not that the display is responding to a lack of activity (eg reading and no mouse movement) because waggling the mouse makes no difference (eg it just continues dimming).
When I had a look in the Power Management dialog, the On Battery Power tab is missing so I don't know what the battery power settings are. I'm sure that it is present on this machine in Hardy (I'll double-check next time I reboot into Hardy).
I have installed all the alpha 6 updates to date.
On a Samsung Q35 laptop.
