I can turn off the brightness completely too, using the slider or the<br />
brightness keys. It's because the kernel supports this, brightness=0 is<br />
completely dark, that is the backlight is really off. It's also the way<br />
it works when the kernel handles the brightness keys.<br />

Otherwise... we could limit the min to 1. IIRC that is still enough to see the contents of the screen, but that might only hold true for my computer. Sean, could you try this on your machine?<br>
