Stories similar to Brightness resets to maximum after every reboot. Need some help

Hi - I want to lower the brightness of my computer screen - I am running 10.04.03LTS on an HP notebook - I lower the brightness as much as possible via system>preferences>power management but I need to make it darker. Also, every time I reboot the computer, the screen resets to 100 percent brightness - which is blinding - really, you have to see it to believe it.

Ok, now I know there have been similar problems posted around either here or in general around the internet but none of them seem to really have a good answer, so I figured I would kind of re-state my issue I have here.

So i've recently installed Kubuntu 13.04 on my Vivobook V300 and i've just noticed a strange bug with my keyboard brightness FN keys.

When I use the brightness changing buttons Unity changes the brightness by two levels each time to create a nice effect. However, I only have about 10 different brightness settings and so this effect has caused a reduction in brightness settings to 5.

Hello,I am starting to appreciate the efficiency of #!.However there is a little hurdle because I am not that experienced in Linux.xfce power manager does not have adjustment for default screen brightness at boot-up.When my laptop boots to #! the screen brightness is at 100%. The Fn key brightness up/brightness down works, but i migrated from Ubuntu/Mint.

Hey all. When I start up my machine, the brightness is at full intensity, but when I use the Fn keys to change it, the brightness drops way off and the screen is almost unreadable.
