Hi all, I've recently noticed some flickering of the backlight when on AC power and running X. I have a Satellite P205 with 17 inch display. I initially assumed it was a hardware problem, but then I reinstalled Vista to see if it happens under Windows and so far, no flickering. Has anyone seen such a thing before? If this is software related I am guessing it's the Linux kernel's ACPI code. I haven't tried recompiling the kernel without support for that yet. Zack
