[Bug 1490229] Re: Brightness set to maximum after DPMS standby

 

apport information

** Tags added: apport-collected has-fix has-workaround kubuntu
reproducible single-occurrence

** Description changed:

  After configuring screen energy saving in KDE, I noticed that after DPMS
  standby, my screen brightness is set to maximum. This is confirmed by
  `cat /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness`. The problem can
  be easily reproduce by switching to standby manually using  `xset dpms
  force standby`.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  1) echo "300" | sudo tee  /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness
  2) cat /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness 
  This will report: 300
  3) xset dpms force standby
  4) Move mouse/press key
  5) cat /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness
  This will report 937
