No matter if I use Kubuntu or Pardus (both use the powerdevil backend), the maximum 100% monitor brightness level that they allow me to set, is not what my screen can do.
When I boot up the notebook or return from suspend-to-ram the screen is really really bright, and then gets dimmed immediately.
The Fn + brigthness up/down shortcuts or the gui of powerdevil won't let me restore the true maximum brightness, just the 100%, which are moderately dim.
Is there a command or some other cli-magic I can use to truly get my lcd back to the brightness it is supposed to be?

You can change the monitor brightness through the console with xbacklight (man)
