So I just woke the laptop up, external display lights up but the laptop doesn't, and it's been automatically set to zero brightness not by me. This is Fedora 24 so the zero brightness thing is still happening. Should I file a bug? What component, and what to include? I'm pretty sure the smoking gun is in this batch where I'm definitely not the one setting the brightness to zero.
