Is this issue solved in 2006? (also, the minimal brightness is not so minimal in 2005. It would be good to set it lesser)
Yes, the darkest setting is about 50% dimmer than in the 2005 OS. It is still brighter than I would like for use with dark adapted eyes. (I am an amateur astronomer)

Just before the screen is blanked due to inactivity, it is dimmed to a level about 50% of the lowest brightness which can be selected. I'd really like to be able to select that level, but what the 2006 OS provides is acceptable.
