Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
After waking up from suspend the display brightness is completely dimmed. The screen is (almost) black. Using the brightness keys the display brightness can be restored to normal values.
This bug is reproducible and occurs every time the computer is woken up.
By the way:
Once the computer came up after suspend without asking for my password. Unfortunately, I could reproduce that behavior so far.
I'm using Ubuntu 9.10alpha4 and a GM965 without compiz. The problems described here came up after the upgrade to 9.10alpha4.

Hi,
I had a similar problem after an upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04 (update 2.6.28.15-generic).
My laptop is an AMILO Si 2636-7002, with same graphical controler as described above.
After complete reboot I discover also that Fn F8 and Fn F9 don't work anymore. With the 8.10 release all was absolutely perfect. I can precise that the applet is not working also.
The only way I found to recover the full brightness is to boot to the Vista partition (that I keep for this kind of problem...) and then restart with Ubuntu.
Unfortunately this little problem has a huge productive impact as the laptop is useless with a dark screen ;)
Thanks for your help,
Philippe
