> can you still reproduce this with latest intel driver and kernel (with > kernel mode setting)? I see a similar, perhaps identical problem. Twice now (today and a few days ago), the laptop has woken up with the screen almost completely black. I can barely see the windows, but the laptop is otherwise fine; for example, I can edit in Emacs if I could do it all without reading the characters. Cycling S3 sleep doesn't restore the brightness, nor does restarting xdm and the X server -- I need to reboot and then the screen is back to normal brightness. This is with xserver-xorg-video-intel 2.9.1-3 and kernel 2.6.33 (vanilla). I imagine that it has KMS -- I didn't do anything special to disable that when I compiled the kernel. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
