Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

Sometimes, on my laptop running latest Jaunty, there is strange behavior. If I close and then open lid, the screen starts blinking endlessly, redrawing window decorations. It is highly annoying and makes laptop unusable.

Doing ctrl-alt-F21 does not help, reclosing the lid does not work.

The following messages fiull Xorg.log with the same frequency as blinking:

(II) PM Event received: Capability Changed
I830PMEvent: Capability change

(II) PM Event received: Capability Changed
I830PMEvent: Capability change

etc

What I noticed is that if I click on SCREEN BRIGHTNESS applet and bring up the slider for screen brightness, blinking stops while the slider is up.
