[Bug 475518] Re: screwy screen management; black screen soon after init

[Tim Wentz]

I think this might *possibly* be 2 different problems.  I don't know
about awn or the slowness -- but I am also experiencing display problems
-- a completely dark display soon after logging in.  However, I found
out that it wasn't actually *black* but EXTREMELY low brightness:  after
pumping up my brightness to maximum, I can make a hardly distinguishable
desktop.  When I "upgraded", it retained my "normal" brightness of maybe
70% or something, so then a 70% setting of 25% of "real" brightness is
almost completely black.

I have traced this display problem to Gnome-power-manager, but I have no
idea how to fix it or correctly report it.  In my experience, the
initially normal display only gets slammed with darkness after an
application that modifies brightness activates (such as update-manager
or something that requires your password, you know, how it dims the
background screen and has an input dialog).

So I think these might be separate issues.  I don't know about the
slowness, but I have experienced the darkness, but I cannot decipher if
there is a problem with my config files.
