I'd love to be able to disable the damn thing. I have a ThinkPad X31
which is just under 2 years old (Radeon Mobility) and I find the
flickering fade-out fairly annoying. If it just "jumped" straight to
the final stage it would be fine, hell if it went straight to a black
background it would be better.
This has been one of my pet-peeves since I first noticed the feature...
Regards,
Tom
