10.6.8 update: screen brightness issues when hooked to external monitor

I just upgraded to MacOS 10.6.8 yesterday, and since then, the screen on my Macbook is acting strange. 
I'm hooked up to an external monitor which I use almost all the time as the primary monitor.  Usually, when I'm using the external, I turn the brightness all the way down (to black) on the Macbook.  After the update, however, the Macbook seems to have a mind of its own.  The screen gets brighter, then dimmer, then brighter again, without reason.  Or, othertimes, after about 30 seconds of inactivity, the Macbook screen gets brighter, then when you move the mouse, it goes back to black again.
It's not that I care so much, but just wish I knew what was going on.  Glitch in the new software?
Macbook
MacOS 10.6.8
External monitor: ViewSonic VA2231wm

Same problem here with a MacBook Pro. I have the notebook connected to a Cinema Display and thus manually dimmed down completely my MacBook Screen. Now after updating to 10.6.8 my MacBook screen dimms up at the time when it would normally dimm it down if the screen was "enabled".
I tried several steps to fix that:
- Dis- and reconnected my external Cinema Display.
- Changed display and energy safer settings in system preferences.
- Fixed file permissions.
- Did a PRAM-reset.
Nothing helped.
Please help us!

  • HP Beats Special Edition 15-p030nr Notebook PC (ENERGY STAR) screen brightness issue

    I'm haing a screen brightness issue on my HP Beats Special Edition 15-p030nr Notebook PC (ENERGY STAR). I upgraded from 8.1 and the F2/F3 keys to dim or brighten screen do not function. Any suggestions besides reverting back to 8.1.? Not sure if I had the screen dimmed all the way or brightened all the way when it was upgrading, or if it even mattered.

  • I  made the mistake when configuring a external monitor, of changing the mhz to 75. When I close the MBP I now get a black screen on the monitor. How do I change it back?

    I have a MacBook Pro with the latest operating system, trying to configure a Gateway flat monitor with vga.
    Thanks

    Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Displays.
    System Preferences can also be found in the Hard drive -> Applications folder.
    Resetting the PRAM can help bring displays back to factory settings if you can't find what you need:

  • OSX Mavericks Keeps Restarting at Random Times When Connected with External Monitors

    Starting today, my MacBook Pro started crashing with the below panic report. It appears to only happen when I connect external monitors to the Thunderbolt port. I've been using multiple monitors for the last 6 months without issue.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Lumia 735 screen brightness issue

    My new Lumia 735 has an issue with the screen brightness dimming for no reason. For completeness I have done a reset, it is nor on auto, and does I when on mains or battery. The screen is supposed to be extremely bright when set to max. However it is for about 10 secs then dims then goes bright again then dims for ages then suddenly goes bright. I have been Through all settings and changed/tried all things to no avail. I think this is not a unique problem and is prob software linked. Anyone got any ideas?

    Although you say you've set the screen so the brightness is NOT set to 'auto', this sure sounds like the light sensor is still active.
    I would first try a power cycle to see if that clears things up (which I doubt, but no harm trying, right?).  Then do a back up and try a hard reset.
    After the hard reset, test to see if the brightness is working properly.  If not, then it may be malfunctioning light sensor and require repair/replacement.  If it's working properly, then slowly start adding apps one by one and testing again, to see if one of them is causing the problem.

  • Card Reader & Screen Brightness Issues with 3000 N100 Running Fedora 10

    Hi, I'm new to the forum, and came here to look for info on a couple minor issues I'm having with Fedora 10 on my 3000 N100.  It's great to see that there's a group of Linux users here.  Anyway, onto the issues:
    1) The integrated card reader.  It works just as it should right after I boot up - i.e. insert an SD card and it auto mounts.  However, if I leave the system idle while doing other things the card reader quits working.  I've used the terminal to look up the location of the card reader when it's working properly.  If I unmount the card (under the Gnome desktop System menu, right click the card, select unmount), leave it in the reader, and try to remount it in terminal (using the location mentioned above) it tells me the device isn't found, or the location doesn't exist.  
    2) I've set the screen brightness to max as my default (which is just bright enough to read comfortably under the fluorescent lights here at work), and my brightness function keys work fine too right after bootup.  Again, if I leave the system idle for a bit the screen goes dim.  At this point the brightness function keys quit working as well.  If I go to System > Preferences > System > Power Management I can slide the brightness toggle down and back up, and the screen then immediatetly returns to full brightness.   
    Any help you folks can offer would be greatly appreciated.       

    Hi ugaarguy,
    It sounds to me like there's some power settings that are powering down the card reader after a certain period of inactivity.  This could also be the case for your brightness settings and keys.
    You may find a better answer in the Fedora forums regarding these issues, so you might want to try posting there as well.
    Is there a control panel which deals with power settings in Fedora?  Perhaps check around for these settings to see if there are certain power saving features enabled on your system.

  • T420i screen brightness issue

    This one is a little hard to explain.
    I should note that this only happens when I am not plugged in with an AC adapter.
    On my brand new Thinkpad, my screen's backlight will brighten when there is a lighter image on the screen and dim when there is a darker image on the screen.
    The way it works is when I transition from a lighter image to a darker one, the screen will slightly lower its brightness level about twice a second. It will do this 4-5 time, dimming the screen little by litte. It isn't a lot, the total difference between the 2 brightness level is about 1 brightness leve if I were to adjust it manually. It might even be less. The annoyance is how it changes bit by bit.
    I'm led to believe that this is actually a feature with the notebook, but I just can't find a way to turn it off.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    EDIT: After a ton of fiddling, I finally got it fixed. In case anyone else wants to disable this, you have to go into the control panel, open up Intel GPU options, select Advanced, go to power, change power source to battery, and uncheck the box that says "Display Power Saving Technology"

    Computer monitors may need to be calibrated. If you have AMD graphics you can go into the Catalyst control panel and adjust the gamma and white balance settings. 

  • [SOLVED] Screen brightness issues with Acer 5372Z

    The screen of my laptop goes black whenever I boot into ArchLinux, after "reading Udev events" on startup. Most of the time I have to use a flashlight to see the console on my screen and type
    sudo setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=20
    to set screen brightness manually. The `Fn` + `Brightness up` combination doesn't work on my machine, but that's not an issue with Arch, but fault to sugar in coffee.
    There are a lot of similar threads in this forum, but none of the solutions described there really worked 100% or not at all, that's why I'm opening a new thread as this seems to be specific to my hardware.
    Details:
    Graphics controller:
    00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
    Screen resolution:
    1366*766
    /boot/grub/menu.lst:
    # (0) Arch Linux
    title Arch Linux
    root (hd0,0)
    kernel /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/sda10 resume=/dev/sda5 ro vga=775
    initrd /initramfs-linux.img
    /etc/rc.conf#DAEMONS:
    DAEMONS=(hwclock syslog-ng network netfs crond laptop-mode dbus gdm)
    I will describe here what I have did so far on hacking:
    Installed the video driver for my Intel card as described here in the wiki
    Set kernel mode to `nomodeset`, without specifying vga, of course, which surprisingly solved the issue, but prevented me from using Gnome.
    The supposed solution in the Arch wiki doesn't work for me. It makes it worse, in the sense of dumping screen brightness even before "reading udev events" on boot.
    My current workaround (to avoid using a flashlight) is to put this line into my `/etc/rc.local`:
    setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=20
    I wonder if you can help me to solve this issue, or point me to any of the great documentation provided by the Arch community I might have missed...

    rg_arc wrote:I have this problem as well for my Acer Aspire 4810TZ. The only thing I can think of is to make some sort of temporary fix. But I agree with you, There should be a permanent fix. Every time I've installed Arch on this computer the same problem arises and the only way I can change the brightness is the setpci terminal method.
    This is bad news for new Arch (and Linux) users. This will be probably the point where they will turn over to another distribution.
    It seems to be something which has been included in newer kernels, because I can remember that in the 2.6 series this issue did not exist.

  • Z1 screen brightness issue

    my xperia Z1 brightness settings is auto brightness… when i switched off the screen for amount of time and switch it on to use my phone .. screen brightness go very high then back to the original state… what is this ,why is this happen and what is the solution please ????

    If you have auto brightness active it will change the brightness depending on your surroundings. Before it's able to adjust to the surroundings it might go very bright before it finds the optimal setting for the situation. 

  • LE Screen Brightness issue

    I have the Excite LE and have noticed that with auto brightness OFF when the battery reaches certain levels the display dimms and cannot be raised in the settings. Any idea what controls this annoying setting? For example i noticed at 88% of battery life it went down to about 30% brightness and when you try to move the brightness level, it won't move. Thanks.

    I have an Excite 10LE as well and have had the same problem.  Seems to happen at random.  Doesn’t matter if it's plugged in or not.  I've turn the auto-brightness off and slid the slide bar to the brightness setting and at some random point mine will dim to I'd say about 10 or 15% and I can't budge the slide to increase the brightness.  It will slide to decrease it though.  Has anyone else experienced this issue?

  • Playbook Screen Brightness Issue

    I have purchased PB few days back and I am not able to change the screen brightness. I have tried disabling the auto-din feature and tried adjusting brightness from the battery icon. The slider goes from end to end but the brightness remains the same. 
    Also the sliders in Settings->Screen does not even move. 
    Did any one else face similar issue? How can this be resolved? 

    on Playbook press power button and both Vol + - buttons for 10 seconds to reboot it.
     and see if it persists.

  • Grey screen when connected to external monitor / projector

    I have a 13" Macbook Pro  (OS 10.6.7, 2.4 GHz Intel, NVIDIA GeForce 320M) that is freezing up when connected to an external monitor or projector.  The monitor or projector works fine when initially connected, but after an hour or so of use, both screens will suddenly turn grey or black and the computer is totally unresponsive (the sleep light is not on).  I have to do a hard shut down using the power button. This problem only occures when connected to a monitor / projector.
    This freeze up happens in various use cases; watching a movie, web surfing, editing docs, or even when i'm away from the computer, it seems entirely random.
    I'm connecting to a Dell U2711 external monitor using a HDMI cable.  I've tried 3 different HDMI cables / adaptors, so I'm pretty sure it's not the cable that's the problem.  The problem also occures when connected to an Epson Powerlite HD 705 projector (again using HDMI)
    I've called Applecare and run a Hardware Test (no issues found), I've also re-installed the operating system and ran all updates.  The problem still occures.
    Idea ideas on what's wrong?

    Found the solution here: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/152203/osx-10-10-yosmite-turn-off-macbo ok-pros-display-while-connect-to-external-moni
    In terminal:
    Enable: sudo nvram boot-args="niog=1"
    To undo: sudo nvram -d boot-args
    This works brilliantly!
    Steps I use:
    1) After putting in the terminal command, reboot and close the lid immediately
    2) Keep the lid closed during boot up and once logged in, open the lid
    3) The MacBook Pro's screen is off

  • Issue when trying to deploy Monitoring Server Reports on Deployment Wizard

    Hi all.
    I have to install the Monitoring Server Role on a server that already has the Lync Server 2010 up and running.
    I'm new to Lync Server so my experience with the product is limited, so I need some help with an issue.
    I followed the Deployment Guide and for now I managed to do the following:
    - Installed an SQL Server 2008 Standard with SP1 with SSRS also;
    - Updated the Topology to include a Monitoring Server, and also published the new topology;
    - Installed the new components of the monitoring server.
    I can also refer that the SQL Server Instances and Lync Server Front-End are in the same server h where I'm installing the monitoring server, and there is only one Front End Pool.
    As far as I can tell everything was successfully done, and I couldn't find any errors until now.
    And finally the issue appeared when I wanted to deploy the Monitoring Server Reports to the Reporting Services Server.
    In the deployment Wizard of the Lync Server 2010 the link for that option is disabled, no further information is given.
    I tried to find on the ISO and .exe or .msi files that could deploy the reports, but could not find any.
    I believe it isn't a problem of permissions of the user because i followed the documentation.
    I hope someone can help me find the problem, and if possible a solution for it.
    Best regards.

    Hi,
    From your description above, it is a Lync Server 2010 Enterprise Edition and you deploy Monitoring Server in the same Server with FE Server.
    If it is the case, you may meet unknown issues as you must deploy Monitoring Server on a separate Server. You can only collocate Monitoring Server with Archiving Server.
    Please try to delete the Monitoring Server configuration in Lync Topology and then republish topology, and rerun Step 2. After these, please deploy Monitoring Server with a Separate Server and test if the issue happen again.

  • Blue screen of death when La Cie external firewire drive connected

    I tested a LaCie external firewire drive on my iMac and it worked fine. I packed it up well and posted it to a friend who gets the blue screen of death when the LaCie is connected to her iMac. She's not even trying to boot from it.
    My iMac is 9.1  and hers is 8.1.  We are both running Snow Leopard.  Was there some problem once upon a time with chipsets or am I mis-remembering?
    TIA

    Create an ISO (Encore) or folder on your hard drive (Encore or Premiere Elements) and then use the FREE http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download to write files or folders or ISO to disc for DVD or BluRay (send the author a PayPal donation if you like his program)
    Imgburn will read the ACTUAL disc brand from the disc, which is not always the same as the box label (Memorex is notorious for buying "anything" and putting it inside a Memorex box)
    When you write to disc with Imgburn, use the SLOWEST possible speed setting, so your burner has the best chance to create "good, well formed" laser burn holes... since no player is required to read a burned disc, having a "good" one from a high quality blank will help
