 As mentioned in #6762 release-candidate update.1 691 has a
 /etc/ohm/plugins.d/backlight.ini which specifies maximum brightness on
 startup.  Some medical conditions cause a person to be easily dazzled by
 bright lights, and it probably drains the power more quickly as well.

 Ideally, it would be nice to remember the user's preferred backlight
 setting from the last run - the firmware should use this at boot time, and
 the startup scripts should not change it.

 At the very least, it would be nice if the startup scripts did not change
 the backlight setting from what the firmware had set it to.  If a user
 turns down the backlight during boot, it is very annoying for it to be
 immediately turned up again during startup and then have to be turned down
 again.
