Bug Description
First, I'd like to mention that this is not a duplicate of this bug:

That issue was fixed with yesterday's kernel update and my keyboard buttons do work to adjust my screen brightness. This is a related issue, however.
When on battery power, the screen tends to progressively dim itself. In Power Management I have checked the boxes for 'Reduce backlight brightness' and 'Dim display on idle'. When I unplug, the display dims (good) and when I leave it sit there for a minute or two, the screen dims a little more (I'm assuming this is 'dim display when idle'). Unfortunately when I move my mouse (where I'd expect the screen to brighten a little again by coming out of idle), the screen dims even more. It seems like someone put a call for brightness down where it should've been brightness up. But then again, I don't really know what I'm talking about in that area...
I have an Intel X3100 gpu on a Thinkpad T61 running Hardy 8.04 beta with todays upgrades. Please let me know if you need more information.
Hi Jonathan,
I'd like to try and narrow down if this is actually a bug in the kernel or rather an issue with say gnome-power-manager or HAL. The reason I say this is because you mentioned that the keyboard buttons do properly control the brightness.
1) Could you capture your dmesg output after you witness the issue and then attach the output to this report? bugreport. sh &> gpm.log to the report? /wiki.ubuntu. com/DebuggingGN OMEPowerManager and submit any other logs related to your problem.
2) Can you also please attach the resulting log file of: gnome-power-
3) Also, please take a look at the debugging instructions located at https:/
Thanks in advance.
