Comment:

 Doesn't reproduce here.  All six test bed units correctly and reliably
 turn backlight back on when light level is reduced.  Using os12 with
 kernel [http://dev.laptop.org/git/olpc-
 kernel/commit/?h=arm-3.0-wip&id=5611fd36a7b30edac640e1bd8ab2948ca91d09d5
 5611fd3].

 Tony, please check that the display was not turned off and the laptop not
 suspended.  If the display was off because of lack of keyboard or touchpad
 action, then it won't turn on just because it gets dark.  If the laptop is
 suspended with the display on, it won't display an updated value.

 You might change /etc/powerd/powerd.conf temporarily to prove that:

 {{{
 config_BATTERY_TIME_DIM="1800"
 config_BATTERY_TIME_SLEEP="1805"
 config_BATTERY_TIME_BLANK="1810"
 config_EBOOK_TIME_DIM="1800"
 config_EBOOK_TIME_SLEEP="1805"
 config_EBOOK_TIME_BLANK="1810"
 }}}

 Tony, please check the EC version, you can find it on the banner display
 when entering OpenFirmware.
