monitor brightness switched to lowest level after logout

[b3nmore]

After logout, switching to another login screen or shutting down the monitor brightness is set to its lowest level, making it rather hard to read in bright environments. Pressing a brightness key once (up or down does not matter) sets the monitor brightness to its highest level. Therefore it seems, that a vt switch leaves the brightness level at a undefined state and after triggering a manual change, it switches to some default setting.

On a closer look, pressing the brightness up or down key makes a difference: With the up key brightness is set to its highest level, with the down key its set to the highest level - 1.

Btw. the newest driver 2:2.99.916+git20141006.ec2b9ac8-0ubuntu0sarvatt shows the same behavior.
