[Bug 876522] Re: black screen when dim screen to save power

 

Thanks Walter,

I removed gnome-screensaver and installed xscreensaver and the screen
still dims w/o being able to wake it up.

In particular, I tested by:

1. apt-get update/upgrade, replacing gnone-screensave w/ xscreensaver
2. Logout (to LDM)
3. Wait some amount of time
4. Screen dims
5. No keys (including brightness keys) will wake up the display
6. Blindly type in my password
7. Once logged in, brightness keys work

David

Title:
  black screen when dim screen to save power

Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  My macbook 2,1 goes to energy saving mode and dims the screen. But when I touch any key, the screen remains black
  As workaround, I type my password to unblock with black screen, I don't see what I'm typing, and then I press the brightness up key and then I recover the normal mode.
