[Bug 1490229] [NEW] Brightness set to maximum after DPMS standby

 

Public bug reported:

After configuring screen energy saving in KDE, I noticed that after DPMS
standby, my screen brightness is set to maximum. This is confirmed by
`cat /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness`. The problem can
be easily reproduce by switching to standby manually using  `xset dpms
force standby`.

Steps to reproduce:
1) echo "300" | sudo tee  /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness
2) cat /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness 
This will report: 300
3) xset dpms force standby
4) Move mouse/press key
5) cat /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness
This will report 937
