pbbuttons - issues with lidclose->display off options (backlight remains off)
Hello,
I am not sure if the reason behind this problem is pbbuttonsd,
although I am fairly sure, I want to have a confirmation (this happens
from time to time on my laptop).
I have configured pbuttonsd to just turn off the display when on AC
and the lid is closed. I found that, sometimes, when opening the lid
again, the backlight will not be turned back on (I can see the locking
screen of KDE); if I try o swith to a text console, the backlight is
turned back on for a split second, I can see the display properly,
then is back to off. Switching back and forth between the X console
and a text console does not fix the issue, but the
light-on-for-a-split-second thing is present.
Also I have found that I can work arund the issue if I put the laptop
to sleep and wake it up. (But even this work around doesn't always
work for me since I am experincing lock-ups before sleep - nobody has
an idea why).
Does anybody else has this issues? Can someone confirm this? How can I fix it?
Help would be appreciated.
