Good to know that it does not add anything to Xorg.0.log. That means we can exclude something calling xrandr as being the source of this bug.
I'm not exactly sure where it belongs, but I guess probably the kernel. Screen brightness change goes through the ACPI interface and those bugs are filed to the kernel. In Xrandr.txt (output of `xrandr --verbose`) you have the following lines: BACKLIGHT_CONTROL: kernel supported: native legacy combination kernel BACKLIGHT: 0 (0x00000000) range: (0,7) which bacally says that the kernel has control of the backlight and that it currently is at level 0 of 7. Could you verify that the first 0 on the last line changes when you turn the brightness up and down? And check what happens to this number when you go beyond the top. Another place to check the brightness level is in the /proc file system. On my computer /proc/acpi/video/VID/LCD0/brightness has information about the brightness level. You may want to check how this changes when you change the brightness level and you trigger the bug. Also, does the same happen when you use the hotkeys (Fn+something) to change the brightness level? (assuming that it works). -- [i965] Jaunty: random screen flashes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/356510 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
