This NV79 issue has also been referenced here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/685727 among many other places. Only the backlight is being turned off during boot and also after resuming from a suspend. Using a bright flashlight shows that the video is still being displayed but without the backlight, it appears to be black. Lucid worked fine on the same hardware and there was no backlight being turned off issue.
Maverick 2.6.35-27, 2.6.35-25, 2.6.35-24 all have this issue. 2.6.32-27 Lucid works fine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/705949 Title: (Needs Q4 -intel) [Arrandale] Gateway NV79 Backlight and Monitor trouble -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
