Comment 7 for bug 12637

Update on this screen dimming issue. On my AMD64 laptop, Mandriva Limited Edition 2005 (for i386)
does not dim the screen at bootup (Mandrake 10.1 i386 did not either). However, Ubuntu Hoary,
VidaLinux 1.2 (for AMD64), and Suse 9.3 (full version) continue to have this problem. Obviously,
there must be some package/setting that causes it in these distros. It's very annoying since the
screen must be increased from the lowest brightness setting after each reboot/startup of the laptop.
Hibernating does work in Hoary, so that helps keep me from rebooting too much and having to adjust the
brightness. On hibernate, Hoary does report some BIOS bugs, so maybe this has something to do with
the screen dimming. I'm not a programmer, but wanted to report this bug as best I can.
