I am having a similar problem with my screen dimming to lowest setting. It seems to be random but other times it is caused by starting an application such as a basic gnome-game or Second Life.
I did notice that it dimmed upon bootup at the stage "loading VESA state" Perhaps it's a vesa bug? I have an Acer Aspire 7720 widescreen notebook. Currently using 2.6.24-19-generic running LinuxMint. The 'fix' a user provided did not affect my screen dimming issue, comment by DieterVDW https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/199466/comments/3 I am going to start poking around with vesa settings to see if it can be fixed. -- Screen brightness goes down automatic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/199466 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
