Bug Description
On the Dapper Flight 5 LiveCD an iBook 2 rev. 2 (600MHz 16VRAM) the machine will go into sleep and wake up. A great improvement over crashing! however the screen is always set back to full brightness. It also happens when starting/restarting Xorg.
Also, when adjusting the brightness I can use Fn-F1 to turn it all the way down and to off. Then it requiers two presses of Fn-F2 to turn it back on, but pressing Fn-F1 once more to turn it back down a notch leaves it on, and a second turn it off again. So, there's an error of some sort in counting where the level of bright turing on and off is, and also in leaving the brightness where it was last at when booting or coming from sleep. i'm assuming that X.org is just resting the video hardware everytime it comes back up and that's blowing away the brightness setting.
I searched Launchpad/Malone for similar bugs in Dapper and didn't find any that looked similar.
