A workaround that I have found to work is to add the PPA ppa:voria/ppa and install the samsung-backlight package.The screen brightness keys work and the flickering is gone. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/873752 Title: Ubuntu 11.10 - Adjusting the brightness causes the screen to flicker intensely until the user logs out To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/873752/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

As a workaround you can disable screen dimming in Screen, that may work (or not). It is disappointing that this bug of 11.04 still is not fixed. It affects a lot of netbooks with the same video chip.

Same problem on a N130, just updated to 11.10.
