[Bug 675116] New: Screen brightness is dimmed irreversively and repetitively after screen lid was closed/locked
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=675116 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=675116#c0 Summary: Screen brightness is dimmed irreversively and repetitively after screen lid was closed/locked Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: Factory Platform: i686 OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: bnc-team-xorg-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: rs205@web.de QAContact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101203 SUSE/3.6.13-0.2.1 Firefox/3.6.13 The Test device is a Asus UL30vt Notebook, an external DVD drive and a openSUSE 11.4 M6* KDE live CD. After locking the screen or going into suspend, the screen shuts down. However, when I reactivated the screen for logging in, the screen brightness was dimmed down a bit. It is not possible to readjust the brightness after that. I was able to repeat this until the screen was completely dark and I could not but disconnect the device from power and restart. More severly, the same behaviour occured even after closing the notebook lid. After 5-7 times the screen was completely blank. That makes it unusable so far. I will provide more information if necessary. *It is possible that it is actually RC1, since I am not able to recognize the difference. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use Asus Ul30vt as test device 2. Shut the lid or lock the screen 3. Try the relogin Actual Results: The screen was dimmed a bit. The difference was not far much, but It was recognizable. Expected Results: The screen brightness should not been altered by that.

Will this be fixed in the final version of 11.4?
Unlikely. We're already behind RC2.
Is there another way of finding a fix such a another mesa version?
Not that I'm aware of.
Why is this a Dup of 666162? In that issue the screen gets completely blank, while here it just gets a bit darker.
It's just the darkest backlight level. This differs from panel to panel. JFYI, I see the same problem on my laptop which I'm using all the time.
will disabling display power management mean that any display controls will not work?
No, you can still control the backlight level. You just disable the display suspend modes. -- 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.
