Check your BIOS. We don't have any default setup for this.
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: http://www.gnome.org/projects/gnome-power-manager/packages.html Richard.
Thanks Richard, I'll try it as soon as I have a chance. Etienne
