I am running Archlinux and hadn't updated the system for a while so I can not pinpoint the exact time it happen. Screen blanking didn't work at all in 2.6.X, it started to work during 3.X and I believe this appeared at least after 3.12(not so certain what kernel version I had installed before I updated and this bug appeared). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Accelerate Dev Cycles with Automated Cross-Browser Testing - For FREE Instantly run your Selenium tests across 300+ browser/OS combos.
