Comment 25 for bug 199522

I have the same issue as pelle.k:

"Same here. Everytime it goes back up from "dim", it decreases until it hits some magic bottom. I've got a brightness range of 0-8. I adjust it to 7. then, let me illustrate;
idle > 7
dim > 4
idle > 6
dim > 4
idle > 5
dim > 4
idle > 5
dim > 4
idle > 5"

I ran a debug script and basically, when it is, boiled down it's the same issue (full version attached for anyone interested). After each dim, the resulting default restore brightness is diminished one level. I can change the brightness to value "7" again (100%) via the brightness applet, but something in gpm is causing the 'restore' brightness level to decrease by "1" level each dim/undim cycle.
