When the login screen (gdm) appears the screen of my MSI Wind U100
netbook starts to flicker, i.e. the backlight brightness alternates. The
brightness widget is also shown and its bar goes up and down for 1 step.
When changing the brightness manually using Fn-F4 and Fn-F5 during the
login screen it keeps on flickering but at a different brightness offset
then.
After logging in the flickering continues until vigorously changing the
brightness manually using Fn-F4 and Fn-F5.
After logging out and returning to the login screen it again starts to
flicker.
My system is running latest Ubuntu Karmic (development branch), release
9.10.
I just found bug report 415023 which sounds very similar. But changing
the brightness fast does not induce the problem for me again. Also, it
does not stop flickering for me after ~30 seconds like the other report
says.
