Thanks.
FYI, two additional data points.
- 3.9 rc-1 corrects the full brightness at boot issue experienced on the T410 post 3.6. \0/
- The HP Pavilion suffers from the full brightness at boot issue under both 3.8 and 3.9 rc-1.
Symptoms on the HP differ from the Lenovo in that on the latter, changing the brightness setting by just 1 step (higher or lower) reset brightness to nominal. On the HP, the brightness must be incrementally "stepped down from full" in the conventional fashion.
