[Bug 237291] [NEW] Brightness settings not remembered on T61

[felix.rommel]

Public bug reported:

Kubuntu 8.04 with current updates 2008-06-04:

Although the brightness keys <Fn><Pos1>,<Fn><End> work fine, brightness
settings are not remembered on Lenovo Thinkpad T61. I tried it with kde-
guidance-powermanager and with kpowersave none of them remember the
brightness settings when locking the screen and returning back to
desktop session.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Change brightness in kde-guidance-powermanager applet for example to 40%
2. Everything will be fine
3. Lock your screen > Main menu > Lock session
4. Screen goes black
5. Move your mouse and type in your password and the screen will go back to 100% brightness

Output of /var/log/acpi: Brightness keys just work fine, but after
unlocking session, there is no entry in log file that brightness jumped
up to 100% again:
