Title:
  LCD Brightness on Laptop Always Set Very Low at Boot

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in linux-source-2.6.15 package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  On my Gateway 7405GX laptop (AMD64), the screen brightness "dims" too low at boot.  It seems 
  to do this after GRUB.  Therefore, I must increase the screen brightness each time I reboot 
  the computer (using Fn button and F7/F8).  I have tried adjusting the limited settings in the 
  BIOS, but nothing changes.  Also, this dimming effect occurs when running of AC Adapter and 
  battery.  Ideally, the screen should initialize at full brightness when running on AC 
  or "remember" the previous setting from the previous saved settings on battery.  Basically, 
  this is just annoying...not a showstopper bug.
