This is not a killer issue, but a curious question. Prior to F13 (F12), I could set the screen saver to dim after x minutes of idle. I would then keep off of KB and Mouse for x minutes, and it would start to dim, and I could interrupt it by touching any key or clicking any mount button, and the dimming would immediately halt and the screen would return to full brightness. Now on F13 (latest updates), during dimming, and before dimming is complete, pressing any keys or clicking any mouse button does not interrupt the dimming process. It goes to full black screen and then and only then, pressing a key undims the screen. My kernel config has: CONFIG_X86_APM_BOOT=y CONFIG_APM=y CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE=y CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE=y CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK=y CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS=y <<<<<<< Since pressing KB and mouse buttons should cause the BIOS to send an interrupt, and the kernel is configured to allow such interrupts, seems like dimming process should stop immediately and bring screen back to full brightness. Hope a driver dev has some info on this process. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
