I set yum to update my packages and it started downloading all of them. So
I decided to step away for about 10 minutes. When I came back to check out
the progress, the screen had dimmed--but the stuff was still working in the
background--I am running a laptop hooked up to power, btw. But the cursor
is just as bright as normal. Kind of strange behavior...any ideas?
BTW--I haven't restarted it yet to check out if it is permanent or not--my
guess is that it's not. Will update on that just as soon as yum is
finished.

I now know what you mean by this ;-{ My HP compaq nx9000 di this while
yum was downloading about 50M of packages today (Tuesday), I didn't
notice if the screensaver started, but the screen was black when I
looked next during package updating (disk going bezerk). Once the mouse
was moved, the pointer showed up as normal, but quickly (<0.5s) faded
out once movement was stopped. I tried esc, shift, alt-tab, c-a-f1 (tty
were still normal). Switched back to gui, again black, except where
mouse is moved. Waited til disk stopped and then tried c-a-backspace to
exit the session. For the briefest of moments I saw the desktop as it
should have been before going to the gui login screen.
I also got a gnome power manager crash at startup, so I think it is
related to current probs with it, see elsewhere on the list. DaveT.
