> Subject: [TLUG]: Display Dimming When I Don't Want It To<br>> From: cinetron-uEvt2TsIf2EsA/PxXw9srA@public.gmane.org<br>> To: tlug-lxSQFCZeNF4@public.gmane.org<br>> Date: Tue, 18 May 2010 15:11:56 -0400<br>> <br>> Hi,<br>> <br>> I recently updated to Lucid on my laptop and for some reason when I<br>> increase the brightness of my screen it just ramps down to minimum by<br>> itself again. Not sure if this has something to do with Gnome Power<br>> Manager. I made sure the settings look ok. It should only dim on low<br>> battery but this is happening when on AC power. My laptop , an Asus, has<br>> a light sensor that should set display brightness by itself. Maybe that<br>> is interfering. If so it doesn't work properly because changing the<br>> light level on the sensor doesn't seem to affect the display brightness.<br>> The icon for brightness shows I am full brightness even though I am<br>> actually at minimum brightness. Any thoughts?<br>> Thanks,<br>> Jim<br><br>I've noticed some dimming also, but mainly with the OO spreadsheet. The visible cells dim, almost turn into a purplish hue, and won't brighten again. That never happened before the upgrade.<br><br>A more annoying problem is that I can't switch users more than once, it seems. If I switch back to the original user, the entire screen turns black and the login window is not visible. It's still there (sometimes you can see a vague outline and the cursor changes shape when rolled over the input section), but noting will bring it back except to go to a console screen and restart or kill processes. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace does nothing. I think there's a bug listed for it already. Now I have to log off, then log on to a different user. And you can only log off if you know their password.<br><br>John.<br><br><br> </body>
