I have a Lenovo Thinkpad X61, and have it set to turn the screen brightness set to get lower when it is on battories. This works fine, until the screen turns off (after 5 minutes of inactivity). When it I wake it back up, the screen brightness is reset to full. I can go into KPowersave and turn the brightness down, and that works, but as soon as the screen turns off, and comes back on, it is bright again. Related to this (maybe), there are hot keys (via a function button) to controll the screen brightness. When I use these buttons, a display pops up in the center of the screen to tell me what the brightness is, and I can raise and lower what it says the brightness is, but the screen brightness does not change. hope someone can help, thanks, -Jesse
