Re: [gpm] Gnome Power Manager and Brightness

[Srikanth Konjarla <srikanth konjarla gmail com>]

Actually, the Function keys (Fn-F4 and Fn-F5) allow me to change the 
brightness. Also, i could notice the brightness automatically decreasing 
when the laptop is switched to Battery mode. However, i am not able to 
find the Brightness related settings in Gnome Power Manager preferences 
as i have already mentioned.

Thanks and regards
