On a dell vostro 1400 laptop (with no swap partition), Fedora 11 install of XFCE. After launching xfce power manager and pressing the screen brightness keys (either increase or decrease), the OSD of the sun icon/screen brightness displays briefly, and then the computer suspends to ram, screen blanks, and then resumes, and then immediately suspends again and so on. Using the lcd brightness panel plugin to adjust screen brightness does not result in this problem. cheers, kilolima
(In reply to comment #0) I'm pretty sure that there is a problem in your keyboard map, but let's debug the problem, please run the following command in you terminal. xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -n -p "/xfce4-power-manager/change-brightness-on-key-events" -t bool -s false This will prevent the power manager from reacting on brightness key event, then try pressing your brightness up and down and let me know what is the result. BTW: Which version of xfce4-power-manager. Also do you have any action configured to do suspend, i mean sleep button lid or anything that can conflict with the brightness keys. Thanks.

I found your bug report on Fedora database, please just upgrade to the 0.8.0 which fixes this issue, you are running RC1 i guess. Let me know your findings.
Hi, Should I run xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -n -p "/xfce4-power-manager/change-brightness-on-key-events" -t bool -s false as root or not? As root I get an error After I run it as a user, and press the brightness buttons (Fn + up/down arrows), the screen fades and the computer suspends, BUT, it doesn't cycle endlessly, and when I re-wake the computer the screen brightness is adjusted. This is version of power manager .8.0beta1 which is from the fedora stable repositories. Also, I have all actions for suspend or hibernate within power-manager set to 'nothing'. I haven't entered the bug in the fedora database, must have been someone else?

This is a known issue for the beta version, please see this bug report https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=505414 on fedora, upgrading to the stable version (not the beta) should fix this problem for you.
Please let me know if you still have this problem.
