Package: gnome-power-manager Version: 2.22.1-4 Severity: normal This is on an Asus EEE 901. I just unplugged the machine for the first time in a while, and the screen shut off. Pushing keys and moving the mouse had no effect. I tried plugging it back in, and the screen turned back on. I tried unplugging and re-plugging the power a few more times just to be sure: same result.
On a hunch, I pulled up the Gnome power management settings and disabled "Dim screen when idle". That fixed it: I am currently typing on an unplugged laptop. I know that the screen dimming worked properly a month or two ago, but I'm not sure what changed to break it.
