Usually the brightness is controlled between 0% and 100% in 9 steps. Step 0 (0%) and Step 1 (~11%) work as expected. When I increase the brightness to Step 3 the display is extremely bright (looks like 100%). In step 4 the screen flickers with about 20Hz between 100% and 0%. When I continue increasing the brightness it takes a few seconds until the system freezes. This is reproducible on my Samsung NC10 to 100% for the flickering and about 50% for the freeze. With openSuse 11.4 everything works fine. How can I provide more detailed information? I left everything on default settings from the Live CD Gnome build 315 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Gnome Live CD Build 315 on a netbook/notebook 2. Observe initial brightness that is set to 100% 3. Increase / Decrease brightness with hardware button (move the value to 0% Actual Results: Screen Flickers and System crashes. Expected Results: The brightness should have been changed to the entered step values. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
