[Bug 844241] Re: [Oneiric] Dim on idle does not brighten with activity

 

Interesting; few people confirm in bug 840683 that the dimming doesn't
occur at all. The bug's description and second comment suggest that the
'dim on idle and on power' option isn't even coded or at least its
description is misleading. What graphic card do you use? I recommend you
to follow that bug report too. Feel free to continue to report any other
bugs you may find.

** Summary changed:

- [Oneiric] Dim on idle does not brighten with activity
+ Dim on idle does not brighten with activity

Title:
  Dim on idle does not brighten with activity

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

Bug description:
  I've upgraded my laptop from natty to oneiric and I've noticed that when I leave the pc idle (or I manually lock the screen) the back-light is not restored when I move the mouse or press a key, but I must turn it on and increase it using the keyboard button.
  Is the same behaviour described in this old bug #199522.

  Naturally if I uncheck the option "dim screen to save power" the issue
  doesn't occur.
