On my laptop - when I switch to battery the screen dims less than when I am plugged in. Sometimes I need to get the brightness up full - but I cannot find a control to do this that has any effect while on battery power. Things I've tried - 1) in power applet, battery tab - unclick the "Reduce Backlight' button 2) Added the screen brightness applet - but it only dims it more it has now setting to make it brighter than it is already 3) laptop hardware brightness - it is set to full as well. So the max brightness with battery is 20% less than max brightness plugged in. I get the battery saving idea - but its my battery and there are times I need the full brightness of my screen ... I'm using nouveau driver with f12 fully updated. Any hints how to do this ? Oh yeh - gnome.
