  gnome power manager for plugged in has a brightness slider - for
batter there is only a check box for dimming the screen which I
unselected - perhaps it is broken.

  The batter tab should have a slider too but it doesn't.

  All controls do work - its just something has decided to dim the
screen and I can find no way to undim it while on battery.

  hardware/bios controls work fine but are set to full.


  I was a kde user but left them when post 3.5 .. sad really ... it
has/had a much better philosophy ..
