Thanks Walter, I removed gnome-screensaver and installed xscreensaver and the screen still dims w/o being able to wake it up.
In particular, I tested by: 1. apt-get update/upgrade, replacing gnone-screensave w/ xscreensaver 2. Logout (to LDM) 3. Wait some amount of time 4. Screen dims 5. No keys (including brightness keys) will wake up the display 6. Blindly type in my password 7. Once logged in, brightness keys work David -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/876522 Title: black screen when dim screen to save power Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: My macbook 2,1 goes to energy saving mode and dims the screen. But when I touch any key, the screen remains black As workaround, I type my password to unblock with black screen, I don't see what I'm typing, and then I press the brightness up key and then I recover the normal mode. --- ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu3 Architecture: i386 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 GnomeSessionIdleInhibited: No GnomeSessionInhibitors: None GnomeSessionSuspendInhibited: No InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Release i386 (20101007) MachineType: Apple Inc.
