    i have a question, i just installed Win 7 RC 64bit.
    now, after every drivers/applications installed, i notice screen brightness goes up and down by itself, (it dims then goes back to bright).

    This only happens when Power Saver button is pressed (lit green).
    It did not do this with Win 7 32bit.

    i assume, it is power saving feature interfering with win 7's power scheme.
    Kinda cool.. but just wanted to know anyone else is having this *cool* trick..

    It's part of Acer's ePower Management software.

    i posted about this. if it's the same thing i had, you can turn it off by going into the intel driver application in the system tray and turning off the intel power saving display feature in power settings
