This is 2nd patch of fixes annoying side effect (D16918 was first one), yeah about me it's not a bug but it depend of driver even on display reaction time. I try to wake-up by simulating activity, but that may not enough, so delay screen brightness gives a little bit time to display to react.

- R122:c40b8ba3b66d: [dimdisplay] Waits a bit display to wake-up
What the side effect is:
- Dimm display and screen energy saving are enabled
- Let's time activation in configuration of energy saving is longer
- Unplug adapter
- Wait to dimming to set screen to 0
- If now wake-ups screen - all is good screen is not goes to sleep
- So we wait to screen saving to be activated
- Now screen sleeps, just plug adapter in makes screen to wake-up
- If dimm action sets screen brightness too early is just ignored (by driver or display who knows)

Can you pleas provide a video showing the annoying behavior? Just to make sense of it.

Video can't handle it. (i've think about screencast but can be recorded by a phone)
Laptop at this configuration, screen brightness < 100%, waits more that 10 min inactivity, plug-in adapter will wake-up screen with brightness at 100%, which unwanted especially at night hours.

The problem is too specific, it happen when dpms is activated after dimm display is setted screen to 0, if dimm option is not checked it works correct to me.
