Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.6.0) OS: Linux Since the update from 4.5.5 to 4.6 I have problems with the brightness settings of the display. The display brightness switches without any interaction randomly but constantly to different values. It appears only after the first resume cycle. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Start KDE and make one suspend and resume cycle. I am using a Lenovo T61p and use the latest NVIDIA-264-driver, which works so far perfectly with KDE 4.5.5.
Going back to the latest OpenSuSE-KDE-4.5.5 it works as it should be, with no switching of brightness levels.
Some questions: - do you have a power profile selected? I had none selected after upgrade to new reduced standard set of power profiles - I suggest you to go to power management kcm in systemsettings and reset the profiles to their new default values - The new "performance" profile has a brightness darkening timeout. If you do not want darkening the display after a timeout, then disable this Additionally Bug 272917 - leaves session darkened after switching to it after darkening timeout has expired might be related: Do you work with several KDE sessions at once?
OK, after updating to latest KDE-4.6.3 everything works as it should! You can close the bug! Thanks, Michael
