Description Christoph Wickert 2009-03-19 09:30:44 EDT

Description of problem:
Display gets dimmed on idle although I have turned this behavior off.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-power-manager-2.24.4-1.fc10.i386

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start computer on AC
2. Make sure idle_dim_battery is turned off:
$ gconftool-2 -g /apps/gnome-power-manager/backlight/idle_dim_battery
false
3. Wait a little
  
Actual results:
Backlight is dimmed on idle.

Expected results:
Backlight should not be dimmed

Additional info:
Also happens when calling gnome-power-preferences, sometimes even when I'm typing.

Using an Asus F3P.

So you're on AC, not battery...

> /apps/gnome-power-manager/backlight/idle_dim_battery

You want to turn off /apps/gnome-power-manager/backlight/idle_dim_ac

Richard.

Sorry, my bad, I was on battery not AC.

Comment 3 Richard Hughes 2009-03-19 12:48:19 EDT

If it's happening when you're typing, then it shouldn't be the idle code. Do you have an ambient light sensor in your laptop?

Comment 4 Christoph Wickert 2009-03-19 15:18:06 EDT

The dimming while typing is not reproducible reliably, not sure if it's related my other brightness problems from bug #485845.

No, the Asus F3P has no light sensor.

Comment 5 Richard Hughes 2009-08-20 07:38:24 EDT

This should be all now fixed on F11.
