Hi, I lost the old log, but here's a new one. I can definitely reproduce it.

really should have thought of that myself. :) Also, FWIW, disabling dimming does nothing about the brightness changing when playing a movie (it's probably when MPlayer tries to disable the screensaver), but I don't even know if that is relevant to GPM. -- screensaver events cause gnome-power-manager to switch to full brightness by itself sporadically https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/218894 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
