[Bug 12637] Re: LCD Brightness on Laptop Always Set Very Low at Boot

In my case the brightness changes (dims) when I start a video in VLC,
but not when I use any of the other video players that I have tested
(Kaffeine e.g. works without any dimming).

It also changes (dims) when I start a virtual OS in VirtualBox. The
dimming actually happens several times during the boot process of the
virtual OS. I only notice that if I turn the brightness back up again
immediately after each dimming. I need to use the Power Manager applet
in Kubuntu to do that, since the ordinary brightness buttons stop
working every time the screen dims. It would be nice to be able to do
some other work while the virtual OS is booting (it does take a while),
but the only thing I can do, is play whack-a-mole with the brightness
bug.
