Screen dimmed heavily after Ubuntu install

[Jon Loldrup]

After installing Ubuntu 10.10 (daily build from 2. september 2010) the screen was so heavily dimmed that I thought the graphics driver had failed completely.

As this seems to be a (not necessarily small) bug individual to your installation of Ubuntu / your computer, it can not be addressed as part of the paper cuts project. Thus I’m marking it invalid for this project.

Maybe, just maybe, the reason is because it went into sleep mode because of low battery and then the battery died. When booting up again from that, I can only barely see the windows. Solution: try turning it off and on again.

It was plugged to wall power.
Now it happens every time I turn on the computer. I guess I should report
the bug somewhere else.

Ok, then it can’t be that.

I already did that for you. :)
You should provide more information about the problem and your system here.

How do I add more info? I don't see an edit-button anywhere

Please can you try to reproduce this issue using latest stable release of Ubuntu Maverick and check if is still occurring? Thanks
