Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The brightness is not supposed to be changed when sitting on a different VT.

Created attachment 413630 [details] dmesg output Description of problem: RHEL6.0 beta install on a Lenovo Thinkpad T500 (discrete graphics mode). If the text console is showing (via ctrl-alt-F2) and the machine is left idle for a while, the screen blanker kicks in. However, when a key is kit thus causing the login prompt to become visible again, the display is set to its dimmest setting. Using the thinkpad keys to increase the display brightness has no effect while in text mode. Using alt-F1 to go back to graphics mode, the graphics screen is at its dimmest setting as well. Once in graphics mode, the thinkpad keys can be used to increase the brightness again. In gnome-power-manager for AC power (where this occurs), the box "Dim display when idle" is NOT checked and "set display brightness to" is 100%. (For battery power, "dim display when idle" is checked.) If the system is in graphics mode when it goes idle and the display is blanked out, then it is at the proper brightness when a key is pressed. Let me know what other diags are desired. (dmesg attached) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-power-manager-2.28.2-2.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Ctrl-alt-F2 to get to text login prompt 2. Let the system go idle. The screen will blank 3. Touch a key. The screen will unblank but will be very dim Actual results: on return from idle, the display is set to its dimmest setting Expected results: on return from idle, the display should be at the original brightness
