Comment 14 for bug 1015297

Very strange bug. I don't get this at all using Unity and it's always bright on that DM. I followed Martins instructions and was unable to reproduce the effect in XFCE 4.10. However when I let the computer go idle by itself and allowed the xfce4-power-manager turn the screen off I noticed slight dimming. I'm attaching the logs from pm-suspend.log and pm-powersave.log because I couldn't find pm-utils.log in the logs folder.

I've also scouted launchpad.net for similar bug reports and am finding some that - on the surface - seem related but I will need to send a list to Martin to confirm if these are in fact related. Some of these relate to the screen losing it's original user defined brightness level and jumping to another while others include the back-light being non-functional and the brightness controls not working...
