Strange, I'm only observing this, when I run FreeBSD on my notebook. (I have other OSs on it, Redhat Linux 7.1, Windows ME, Windows 2000 Pro) When I leave my Dell Inspiron 8000, 1600x1200 display, 1Ghz P IV, Nvidia GeForce2Go, with X11 (xdm) on and unattended for a while and then come back (after an hour or so), the screen is quite irregularly darkened. It first looks like a blanked screen, but looking closer, the left half of the screen is quite dark and from the middle on to the right it's a bit less dark, xterm and graphics is recognizable but very faint. Powercycling the notebook doesn't cure the problem. Could it be an overheating problem (Nvidia driver)? I have switched off the notebook for 10 minutes now and after having launched this message I will turn back to it and try to get normal brightness again (BIOS?). -- Chris Christoph P. U.
