this appears variation on venerable "why-don't-brightness-controls-work-after-resume?" issue, interesting twist. the behaviour described below occurs on macbook air 6.1 absolutely stock install of 16.10 (literally changes reboot, run sudo apt-get update , change power settings closing lid triggers suspend). description after boot (good!): pre-boot brightness level retained, and brightness controls work expected. after wake (not good!): pre-suspend brightness level forgotten, and brightness controls work poorly (see below). to reproduce boot. increase & decrease brightness. observe. suspend (either closing lid or via ui). wake. increase & decrease brightness. observe. results normal brightness control at step 2, brightness controls work correctly in every way. can dim screen through twenty steps sunburn-bright off. broken brightness control at step 5, brightness controls do still work, but: brightness reset 0 (or @ lea...
