[Bug 1378353] [NEW] monitor brightness switched to lowest level after logout

 

Public bug reported:

After logout, switching to another login screen or shutting down the
monitor brightness is set to its lowest level, making it rather hard to
read in bright environments. Pressing a brightness key once (up or down
does not matter) sets the monitor brightness to its highest level.
Therefore it seems, that a vt switch leaves the brightness level at a
undefined state and after triggering a manual change, it switches to
some default setting.
