        Regression: No


Hi, FYI:

On my Pavilion G6 going into framebuffer causes the screen to dim to lowest
brightness setting.
I can manually increase it after this time using the buttons if I install the
modules (which all distros bundle).

Caused when going into framebuffer for the first time on boot.
Resolves itself sometimes when going into X.

product: HP Pavilion g6 Notebook PC (A9W47EA#ABU)
Display section of lshw:

Controller

             physical id: 2
             bus info: pci at 0000:00:02.0
             version: 09
             width: 64 bits
             clock: 33MHz
             capabilities: msi pm vga_controller bus_master cap_list rom
             configuration: driver=i915 latency=0
             resources: irq:42 memory:c0000000-c03fffff
memory:b0000000-bfffffff ioport:4000(size=64)

Not a regression afaik as I've always noticed it.
Low priority as easily worked around (just confusing why it happens).
Happens on any kernel (ubuntu, debian, homebuilt up to 3.6 - not tested on
3.7+).

Cheers
