and 1W for the keyboard backlight. If you are getting poor battery life, turn off the keyboard backlight and turn the screen down. But how do we fix this for all users? We used to be much more aggressive about screen dimming in GNOME, and it was really annoying. Can we find some happy medium?
Did we ever do a close comparison to OS X' backlight handling ?
