I also face this problem in my MSI Wind U100. This netbook also has bug #435352 but I think the two issues are not related. It happens quite randomly and typically stops when you either switches terminals, login, change brightness, etc. I would say it is just the issue described in
http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2009/08/17/gnome-power-manager-and- blanking-removal-of-bodges/ Since it is quite notorious and is a regression from previous behaviour I would increase the importance of this bug and nominate it for karmic release. jorge. ** Changed in: gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- backlight throbbing on login & idle https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/439768 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
