Description S. Burmeister 2012-05-14 07:37:43 UTC
4.8.3: If my battery is low the display is dimmed ~20 seconds after I moved the mouse last. This should actually be one minute, but anyway.

debug shows:

kded(1714) PowerDevilUPowerBackend::brightness: Screen brightness:  100
kded(1714) PowerDevilUPowerBackend::brightness: Screen brightness:  100
kded(1714) PowerDevilUPowerBackend::setBrightness: set screen brightness:  50

Wrong timing, but ok. Yet a few seconds later the display is dimmed again.

kded(1714) PowerDevilUPowerBackend::brightness: Screen brightness:  57.1429
kded(1714) PowerDevilUPowerBackend::setBrightness: set screen brightness:  14.2857
