I thought it was an APM thing but couldn't get awakened the screen to full brightness unless I rebooted the machine. Now it just happened again but rebooting resulted in normal brightness first but after a few seconds the screen fell back to irregularly intensity. Very strange. I don't hope that FreeBSD/X killed my display or NVIDIA chip. Any clues? -- Chris Christoph P. U.
