Bug Description

Hi.
I just updated from Jaunty to Karmic. I always have my notebook's display brightness set as low as possible.
But now when the GDM login screen is shown it always switches to full brightness...

Regards,
  Andreas

Thank you for your bug report, not sure those should be stored if not changed, it behaves the same way on the desktop you need to change the configuration to impact on default settings

Changed in gdm (Ubuntu):

To clarify the problem:
the brightness will never be saved and must be re-set at each reboot as GDM switches to full brightness...
This was not true for 9.04 version.

I have the same issue. A Dell Inspiron 640m. Saw a possible workaround at http://swiss.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9234384

Will be trying it out in a while. Also, my suspend is broken. It doesn't resume, at all. =(
