Hi,

I also own a P35. The problem is not gnome-power-manager, but a broken DSDT.

When g-p-m changes the brightness through the backlight sysfs (/sys/class/backlight/asus/brightness), there's also an ACPI event generated as if the user pressed the the Fn keys.

The workaround is not to kill g-p-m, but to comment out the acpi_fakekey command in /etc/acpi/asus-brn-down.sh and /etc/acpi/asus-brn-up.sh

But I agree, a solution would be great to have the OSD and the g-p-m features.

Best regards,
Whoopie
