Note - actually, the display glitch occurs *after* Grub, when Fedora starts booting up. While the Grub menu is displayed, the brightness is normal (where I last set it). An update has been released for Fedora Core 3 (kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) which may contain a fix for your problem. Please update to this new kernel, and report whether or not it fixes your problem. If you have updated to Fedora Core 4 since this bug was opened, and the problem still occurs with the latest updates for that release, please change the version field of this bug to 'fc4'. Thank you. This bug has been automatically closed as part of a mass update. It had been in NEEDINFO state since July 2005. If this bug still exists in current errata kernels, please reopen this bug. There are a large number of inactive bugs in the database, and this is the only way to purge them. Thank you. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041110 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: Installed Fedora Core 3 on emachines M6809 laptop. Noticed the display problem when installing as well as every bootup. In the text portion of the bootup, the display is dimmed to its minimum setting. I can then manually brighten the display through the normal function key method. Fedora should not change the brightness settings on the computer. Display adapter is an ATI Radeon Mobility 9600, which was correctly detected during install. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): unknown How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot up laptop 2. Display dims during the first few text lines of the bootup 3. Actual Results: Display dims to its minimum setting. Expected Results: The display brightness should not be changed by bootup. Additional info:
