Title:
  Logon screen black

Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This might be related to bug #525038. When starting up, the screen
  goes black (actually it looks like the backlight is not on) either
  instantly when plymouth starts or a few seconds after. The login
  screen appears, I typed my password and the screen is still black
  after logging in.

  However, if I press F2 (decrease brightness) or F3 (increase
  brightness), not Fn + F2 or F3, then the display will come back on
  instantly. If I increase the brightness to its maximum setting and
  then decrease the brightness to the minimum setting using F2 & F3
  respectively, I get the same effect when plymouth starts (no
  backlight).

  The brightness indicator that ubuntu shows when adjusting the brightness gives me only four levels going from 100% to 0%: 
  0 = 100% Brightness
  1 = 60% Brightness
  2 = 15% Brightness
  3 = No backlight;

  and 3 levels when going from 0% to 100%
  0 = 40%
  1 = 80%
  2 = 100%

  That's all the info I can give for now. If I wanted to get the Fn key
  working what package would I report that against?

  Thanks
