One other quick question.. What happens when the LCD display is
turned off.. I've come across one more thing that I need to work
around.. Everything works well,except when the display is turned
off, but the laptop is not suspended.. In this case when the display
comes back on the LCD brightness is pretty much max and the
brightness applet does not work..
Running my brightness script fixes it again.. But how do I get it to
run automatically when the LCD is powered down?
This maybe consequence of your previous brightness issue. Your power
manager/brightness applet probably doesn't know the "poking" trick
that your machine requires.
I am afraid there is no easy way how to run the script on LCD power
off (at least in gnome). As a workaround you could disable display
power off in your power manager policy (control panel).
Do you have latest BIOS on your machine? Sometimes these issues
get resolved by an BIOS update.
When is the test day again?
