Title:
  Screen Brightness Settings Do Not Stick

Status in Gnome Powermanager:
  New
Status in OEM Priority Project:
  Confirmed
Status in OEM Priority Project oneiric series:
  New
Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xorg

  I have to constantly change my screen brightness because it never
  stays to the brightness level I set it at.  I'm NOT referring to the
  "dim display when idle" option in power management.  Even when I set
  the brightness to max or min--it still changes back and forth.
