Brightness of the screen automatically reduced
Since some time ago, i realized some strange behaviour of my laptop: Whenever i unplug it and work on battery, the screen turns darker.... so far, this was normal.. but the strange thing is that i increase the brightness level manually... and after some seconds not touching the keyboard or not moving the mouse, the brightness decreases automatically again....
I think is not any option that can be customized via any menu, so i want to ask if this is normal, and if anyone has any clue on how to make the system not decrease the brightness automatically after i restore the levels manually.
Thanks!

Re: Brightness of the screen automatically reduced
Do you use Gnome-Power-Manager? I believe this is the default configuration for that, it can be changed in the applet settings. If you don't have anything except the standard ACPI stuff that ships with Arch, then this is something in your hardware.
