Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xorg
I first noticed that my screen was too bright and tried to adjust the brightness with Fn-F5. Nothing happened right away, but after that something that looked like a brightness control bar would pop up on my screen every minute or so and then disappear. There was no way I could get at it. I also tried using the brightness control in Power Management, but it did nothing at all. The tail of xorg.0.log looks like this (it doesn't seem at all helpful): -hsync -vsync (47.4 kHz) [ 487.030] (II) intel(0): EDID vendor "SEC", prod id 21069 [ 487.030] (II) intel(0): Printing DDC gathered Modelines: [ 487.030] (II) intel(0): Modeline "1366x768"x0.0 72.33 1366 1414 1446 1526 768 770 775 790 -hsync -vsync (47.4 kHz) And here's the hardware info: pwa@Asus-laptop:/var/log$ hwinfo --gfxcard 08: PCI 02.0: 0300 VGA compatible controller (VGA) [Created at pci.318] UDI: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_8086_2a42 Unique ID: _Znp.+Z2cv4pDpdF SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0 SysFS BusID: 0000:00:02.0 Hardware Class: graphics card Model: "Intel Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller" Vendor: pci 0x8086 "Intel Corporation" Device: pci 0x2a42 "Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller" SubVendor: pci 0x1043 "ASUSTeK Computer Inc."
