[Bug 844241] Re: Backlight not restored when moving the mouse

 

Adding lightdm because I've discovered another issue:
1)boot Ubuntu
2)leave pc idle without logging in
3)after 10 minutes (as I've set in screen settings) the screen goes standby
4)I cannot restore backlight even using keyboard shortcut (I think because I'm not logged in)
5)I've only one user so the focus is on password field, so I can enter the password although the screen is off
6)As soon the system enter Gnome session I can restore backlight using keyboard shortcut

Is a strange problem...maybe it affects more modules (ligthdm, gnome-
power-manager, graphic card driver??...), but I cannot reproduce it on
other laptops, does anyone have a tip on how to isolate this bug to help
resolving it?

Thanks

Title:
  Backlight not restored when moving the mouse

Status in Light Display Manager:
  New
Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I've upgraded my laptop from natty to oneiric and I've noticed that
  when I leave the pc idle (or I manually lock the screen) the backlight
  is not restored when I move the mouse or press a key, but I must turn
  it on and increase it using the keyboard button.

  It is the same behaviour than in this old bug #199522.

  After additional testing I've noticed that the problem is independent
  from "dim on idle"
