 == Brightness control on battery power ==
 By default, when unplugging the AC power while the system is running, the brightness of the display goes down even when you have set not to in the Power Management settings and you are not able to reach a brightness level as high as possible when connected to AC power. This is not a software setting or GNOME bug, but a BIOS setting. In the BIOS you can find a brightness setting in the Power section. Set it to high for normal, expected behavior. You can let the GNOME Power Manager still lower the brightness, but you will be able to increase it when needed.

 *Early version of the 180 drivers break the suspension/resume, however 180.25(beta) driver has fixed this issue as well as improved 2D performance in X. As of Jan 29, 2009, the 180 series drivers have been added to the official repository under the name nvidia-glx-180. The 'intrepid-updates' repository has to be enabled via
 System --> Administration --> Software Sources --> Updates
- to download the drivers. The 180.11 version does not seem to have any suspend / hibernate issues.
 Once the proprietary drivers are installed, the "NVidia X Server Settings" program will be available in System --> Administration.

 **version 177 might show some issues like terminal output not updating in some very weird cases (which I did not see in v173, this seems to have something to do with powermizer as well ...)

 **Version 177 is recommended because it will provide Suspend to disk functionality, whereas v173 will not.
