Comment 0 for bug 1067749

I have the XFCE power manager set to dim the screen to 40% on battery after 10 seconds. When I unplug my laptop the screen just never dims and stays at full brightness. I can change brightness fine using the hot keys on my keyboard, XFCE just refuses to do it automatically.

I have "Monitor Power Management Control" enabled in the power manager. I tried uninstalling xscreensaver in case that was conflicting, but it made no change.

I am using xubuntu 12.10 (clean install of daily build yesterday) with all updates. I have an Asus U52F laptop with an intel video card.
