If all revisions following 64502 have this backlight function enabled by 
default, is there at least a way of stopping the backlight being switched off 
completely;  perhaps by editing manually some config file?

On another laptop the backlight just dims down a little, but there's still 
enough light around the desktop so I can still find the Settings Panel to 
change the backlight settings and brighten up the monitor.
