iBook G4 and monitor brightness set when idle

[Karhuton]

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

By default monitor brightness is set to 70%, when the laptop is idle.

This happens even if monitor brightness is below this value (or even 0). The program should check if the brightness is 0 or below the value, and not touch it if so.

Using latest Dapper Drake (flight 8, I presume)

It does in the CVS version, but the feature wasn't backported as the brightness stuff changed quite a bit between 2-14 and 2-15.

Can you test this on an updated Edgy system so we can see if this issue still exists?

Can you test on hardy? Thanks

This could be the same as Bug #63543

"Error in automatic diminuition of brightness when idle" which seems to be mac based.
