[Bug 1381625] Re: Adjust brightness to lowest value caused screen whole black

 

There are some scenarios make turning off brightness not desirable, e.g.
an AIO user changes brightness to the lowest level in unity-control-
center, he can't change it back if his keyboard does not have brightness
hotkey.

Since we can't ensure that all graphics driver have the same mechanism
and each one of them does not change, I think it's a better choice to
let userspace program controls a consistent policy.
