Bug Description
I tried to convert a question and it didn't do quite what I expected (sorry, still a noob). Anyway, on my Dell D820 running Hardy when on battery the screen will dim all the way to max "dimness" but never brighten again. In fact, it will do this even while working if you happen to unplug the power. It will go dim immediately and you have to manually brighten it with the Fn keys.
Below is the original question text from Zdenek Novotny.
I am using ASUS F3Tc laptop with Ubuntu 8.04 with Gnome and Screenlets . When I am not connected to power, but just to battery and let the notebook some minutes without action, it automatically decreases brightness, which is correct power management action. Problem is, that the brightness should return to normal when I plug-in the power connector or just move mouse or press any button on keyboard. Instead of that, it stays with the decreases brightness and the only solution is restart and using Change LCD Function key.
