Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
Running a fully up to date Feisty on a Compaq F503AU. Experiencing a small issue with power management in that when I remove AC power my backlight will not automatically dim. However if I suspend my laptop and wake it back up it will then detect there is no AC power and dim the backlight.
Same for the reverse - if I now plug in AC power it wont automatically brighten the backlight, however if I suspend and wake again, it will detect there is AC power and brighten the backlight. So it seems its only really checking when waking up? I haven't tried Edgy on this laptop before so not sure if its a new bug.
The battery applet pops up and notifies me Im running on battery power so it's obviously detecting it fine. Function keys to increase/decrease backlight work flawlessly (so its no biggy to manually readjust), as does suspend/resume - so very nearly 100% on the ACPI front for this laptop :)
btw happy to upload any relevant logs or output of commands.
