[Bryce Harrington <850749@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The X driver doesn't control brightness.  Might be an issue in the
userspace daemon.  Or some ACPI quirkiness.

** Package changed: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) => gnome-settings-
daemon (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => New

Title:
  Display unreadable after dimming

Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Once my laptop screen is dimmed I can not read it any more. Dimming
  happens even when "dim" is not selected in the "screen" settings. It
  also happens before logging in. There is nothing I can do to un-dim
  the screen (i.e. moving the mouse, keyboard, but also using the
  contrast/brightness keys). When the screen is not dimmed, it is
  possible to adjust brightness etc using the contrast/brightness keys.

  If the laptop is suspended/resumed the screen will be back to normal
  until it decides to dim the screen again.

  This is reproducible and can be repeated as many times as necessary.
