Screensaver for the PinePhone

well spotted! Thank you for testing.

The interactive brightness adjustment is currently handled directly be 
the power driver, not involving the display driver. This is arguably a 
shortcut that cuts us now. Upon (re-)starting the display driver, the 
new driver instance applies the driver's default again. It will probably 
be the best to equip the display driver with the ability to handle 
brightness changes and remove the brightness handling from the power driver.

That's what I was hoping for. :)

Cheers
