I noticed that xbacklight -set 0 behaves different with different
setups on the same hardware. With a kernel from Debian unstable
(2.6.25), the level 0 was quite dark, but readable in a dark
environment. With a custom kernel (also 2.6.25), setting it to 0 gives
a completly dark screen, just the window borders are visible a little
bit.

As I don't want to measure the power consumption of an unusable
computer, I always use a brightness that is still usable. So the above
command should be adjusted to something that gives a somewhat usable
bightness when comparing numbers.
