I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 on my Dell D630 and today updated the kernel to the
latest stable release. Previously I was running the latest as provided by
Canonical (3.2?).

Whilst booting my laptop screen displays at the lowest backlight setting. This
also happens if the screen has been locked for some time. Once logged in I can
use the keyboard Fn keys to raise the brightness to it's usual lever. Always
running on AC.

What's happening: Screen brightness is at it's lowest level until I increase it
What I expected to happen: Screen brightness stays at maximum whilst on AC
power

Please me know what I need to attach to this ticket to make it more useful.

Thanks, Joseph
