[Bug 1259369] [NEW] Built-in display brightness drops to 0 after monitor rearrangment

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I have a Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 13. I use it with an external monitor via
HDMI at home and at work. If I re-arrange the monitors in the display
settings (which is to the left/right) at home my laptop screen (build-in
monitor) goes black. Turns out the backlight brightness gets set to 0. I
can just increase the brightness using the hardware button, but this is
still super annoying.

Note, I had to follow this to get the brightness keys working in the first place:

Thanks!
