Hey guys, just a quick question:

I've noticed that the ambient light sensor in the MBP can be somewhat sensitive. Sometimes an action as simple as moving my hands up to the keyboard (from the side) triggers the "auto-dimming" feature of the screen and it slightly reduces the brightness of the screen, then quickly returns. This is rather bothersome.

I've got the option under Keyboard and Mouse "Illuminate keyboard under low-light conditions" unchecked, but the screen still dims if you cover the speakers. I've also got the option under Energy Saver "Automatically reduce the brightness of the display before sleep" unchecked as well.

I'm at a loss here. Is there not a way to disable this auto-dim feature? A Google search didn't turn up much of anything. Surely there must be a way...

The setting is in the Displays pref pane. you can have the keyboard light enabled but disable the auto-dim of the display (which is what I have right now)

Awesome, that's exactly what I needed. I could have swore I looked all over and couldn't find anything, but there it was, plain as day.

Thanks!
