Bug Description
This feature worked fine in 11.04. Now, if I leave my screen for a couple of minutes it dims. When I press a key, it only brightens a little bit. I can hardly see what I'm typing right now.
Before the first such dimming, using the brightness keys works fine to control brightness. AFter the first screensave, they don't work.
The laptop is plugged in.
When I press a key after it's gone into powersaving/
Also, the controls for brightness should continue to work.

The dark screen problem can be "overcome" by either logging out, or suspending and resuming.
