I have the same problem. Linux Mint 14 "Nadia" with Cinnamon on Asus N56V. I set the brightness to desired level using the Brightness and Lock settings. If any of the following happens, the screen resets to full brightness:
- let the screen timeout and lock (screen turns off to save power)
- standby / resume
- hibernate / resume
Incidentally I also note a problem with the brightness control applet: it "inverses" the brightness setting each time I click it:
- click brightness control applet
- set brightness to 30% (ok)
- click brightness control applet again: brightness switches to 70% (100% - 30%)
- set brightness to 40% (ok)
- click brightness control applet again: brightness switches to 60% (100% - 40%)
Is this a known bug?
