Title:
  Brightness at minimum after waking up from hibernation

Status in gnome-power-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Testing the latest Ubuntu Beta (Intrepid Ibex) with all the latest
  updates as of October 16. After a lot of years I can finally hibernate
  my laptop (Acer Aspire 5315).

  The most annoying bug that still haunts my Ubuntu installations is
  related to the lcd brightness. When starting up and loading the ACPI
  module I can see the brightness going to 100%, as soon X starts (gdm)
  it resets itself to the lowest setting until I login and Gnome loads
  its power-manager when it sets it again at maximum.

  If I hibernate the system, after waking up brightness resets itself to
  the lowest setting again. Don't know if it's a gnome related bug or a
  kernel one, but the problem remains.

  If there is a way of setting the brightness to the level users want
  via a 'pre-gdm start' script or post-hibernate script the problem
  would be solved.
