    The screen on my X120e seems to change it's brightness automatically depending on how dark screen I'm looking at is. If a screen is really dark, it will gradually dim itself. This seems like some kind of "helpful" feature, but I can't figure out how to turn it off.

    This is AMD's VariBright power-saving feature. Here's how to disable VariBright: open up AMD Vision Engine Control Center from the Start Menu. In the main screen, under Power, click on PowerPlay. Then, uncheck "Enable Vari-Bright."

    I couldn't find it in the start menu, but I found it in CCC. Thanks.
