Check your BIOS. We don't have any default setup for this.
Comment 3 Richard Hughes 2006-02-11 15:09:53 UTC 
Etienne, you running gnome-power-manager? If you are, just change the settings
in gnome-power-preferences to set the brightness values when on AC and battery
to more suitable levels.
If you're not, try removing acpid and installing gnome-power-manager. You can
get it from my repo here:

Richard.

Thanks Richard,

I'll try it as soon as I have a chance.
