Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2008-05-14 10:37:35 UTC
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA.
More information and reason for this action is here:

Comment 2 Gwyn Ciesla 2008-05-16 20:15:25 UTC
This one I don't see.  I'm using radeon.

Comment 3 Christopher Tubbs 2008-05-16 20:45:34 UTC
Add'l info: I'm using a Dell E1405 notebook. Intel chipset. The issue occurs
even with A/C power cord plugged in.

Comment 4 Gwyn Ciesla 2008-06-12 13:58:55 UTC
I assume this is fullscreen.  Does it happen if you run it in windowed mode?

Comment 5 Gwyn Ciesla 2008-09-09 19:12:54 UTC
I still can't reproduce this.  Did you try my suggestion in #4?

Comment 6 Gwyn Ciesla 2008-12-31 16:37:53 UTC
Ping?

Comment 7 Christopher Tubbs 2009-01-29 04:25:45 UTC
Sorry, I haven't been following this bug since the issues with the sound ever since pulseaudio was introduced in Fedora 8 have caused me to cease playing it. Perhaps somebody else can reproduce the bug. Otherwise, it's probably best to close this.

Comment 8 Gwyn Ciesla 2009-01-29 14:19:46 UTC
I might be able to if I had the hardware, but I don't.  Are you able to test on whatever version you're running on that laptop now?

Comment 9 Christopher Tubbs 2009-01-31 04:14:45 UTC
I have checked this bug against Fedora 10, armacycles-ad-0.2.8.2.1-6.fc9.x86_64 and have not seen it occur. I did, however, see it dim the first time I ran it, but upon exit, not upon startup. This was in fullscreen mode. It has not happened since.

While testing, I did see another bug, regarding screen artifacts, that I will address in a separate bug report.

Comment 10 Gwyn Ciesla 2009-02-02 17:15:50 UTC
So you now cannot reproduce it at all?

Comment 11 Christopher Tubbs 2009-02-03 01:02:24 UTC
(In reply to comment #10)
> So you now cannot reproduce it at all?

Correct, I cannot reproduce at all in Fedora 10 with armacycles-ad-0.2.8.2.1-6.fc9.x86_64 and kernel-2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.x86_64.

Comment 12 Gwyn Ciesla 2009-02-03 14:30:15 UTC
Then, annoyed as I am by this, we'll have to call it resolved.
