[SOLVED] How to return screen brightness after automatic darkening
Hey everyone, just have a minor question. I have both acpid and laptop-mode running and everything works how I want it to except for one thing, when I leave the laptop idle for awhile the screen is darkened automatically, but moving the mouse or pressing a key does not return the screen to the former brightness. Which config file would I want to tinker with to fix this?

What laptop is it? Check if it's in the wiki: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Asus_Eee_PC_1001p

Hey karol, thanks for the quick reply. Well, I have a MacBook4,1. I think you may be onto something about the Intel KMS settings...

Awesome, thank you karol. I just added these to my boot parameters in Grub1: " acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor"
I'm going to test it out and report back.
EDIT: Okay, marking as solved. Now working as desired.
