Title:
  Dim panel on idle not working correctly with Asus V6J

Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

  When on AC power the panel is not dimming correctly. G-p-m
  (apparently) just changes whole screen black without notifying acpi to
  should down LCD display (or the backlight of it).

  This causes a luminated black screen and temperature rise for some
  reason: in idle conditions when screen is on, the temperature is
  around 50C, but with the black screen it gets as high as 70C. It drops
  instantly after the screen is returned from the mysterious black mode

  On battery power, the screen is not dimming correctly either. It could
  take the advantage of controlling /proc/acpi/asus/brn (lowering the
  number) to make screen dim when not used, but instead it does the same
  black screen effect as on AC power. However, the laptop screen
  backlight goes off after some perioid of time, which doesn't happen on
  AC power.
