** Description changed: I have random screen flashes in Jaunty beta, where the screen goes black for a split second. Similar flashes appear when I play around with the brightness applet in the gnome-panel. To reproduce the problem: 1) use your hotkeys to set brightness to min (darkest screen) 2) use your hotkey "brightness up" to go to maximum brightness 3) go further up beyond the max Result: the screen will go dark again. Going further up with brightness will at some point stabilize the maximum brightness. Example: my BACKLIGHT levels are 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-0 and if I start from 1 and keep hitting the "brightness up" hotkey then I get the pattern 1-4-5-6-7-0-7-2-0-0-0.... The interesting thing here is that it dims from 0 to 7 to 2 even though I press "brightness up". UPDATE: typing "xrandr --output LVDS --set BACKLIGHT_CONTROL combination" into a terminal fixes the problem.
