Description Riccardo Setti 2006-11-26 11:13:54 UTC
Please describe the problem:
If two users are logged in (on a laptop), then the idle timeout from the non-active user will affect the power use of the active user.

The way this manifests itself is that the screen brightness dims while the machine is in use.

Changing the brightness back and continuing to work will keep the brightness at the expected level.

Steps to reproduce:


Steps to reproduce this problem:
  1. Login as user 1.
  2. Login as user 2.
  3. Switch back to user 1.
  4. Continue to work.
  5. After the idle time-out for user 2 has been reached the screen dims.
  6. Set the brightness to full as user 1.
  7. Continue to work.


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?
