** Description changed: - Binary package hint: xorg - 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: - 1) put brightness applet in your panel - 2) use mouse to push brightness to the max - 3) now keep pulling the button up (even after you reached the max) - - Result: button slides down again. This is funny and it goes along with - various uncanny dark flashes of the screen. - - ProblemType: Bug - Architecture: i386 - DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.04 - Package: xorg 1:7.4~5ubuntu18 - ProcEnviron: - PATH=(custom, user) - LANG=en_CA.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/zsh - ProcVersion: Linux version 2.6.28-11-generic (bui...@palmer) (gcc version 4.3.3 (Ubuntu 4.3.3-5ubuntu4) ) #40-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 3 17:39:51 UTC 2009 - SourcePackage: xorg - Uname: Linux 2.6.28-11-generic i686 - - [lspci] - 00:00.0 Host bridge [0600]: Intel Corporation Mobile PM965/GM965/GL960 Memory Controller Hub [8086:2a00] (rev 03) - Subsystem: Fujitsu Siemens Computers Device [1734:111f] - 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:2a02] (rev 03) - Subsystem: Fujitsu Siemens Computers Device [1734:111f] + 1) use your hotkeys to set brightness to min (darkest screen) + 2) use your hotkey "brightness up" to go the maximum brightness + 3) go further up beyond the max + Result: the screen will go dark again.
